Activity Passport (Year 3 to 6)
"Activity Passport - (£2.00 to Renew Existing OR £5.00 for First Time Application) - Pay ONLINE via Parent Mail
This is our scheme to reward children for their commitment to their extracurricular learning.
This may include school based after school activities such as karate or football , or any clubs or activities that children take part in outside of school. Activities "collect" hours which are recorded in their Passport and the children may receive various awards and certificates at our end of year ceremony upon reaching a minimum 25 hours which is a very achievable target. There is an almost endless list of things for which hours can be earned including Scout & Guide association, music lessons, swimming lessons, dance & drama and sports, Family visits to museums and galleries, zoos, Woodland Trust or Forestry Commision areas can also earn 2 hours per visit. More information will be available to the children outlining what types of things would be eligible.
If you have any queries, please contact Mrs C. Brooks (Cherry) via the School Office"

We have a great library in school and children take books out every week to read at home, please ensure your child returns their books to change every week to get the most out of reading. If the book is not returned or lost there is a £5 charge payable at the school office. We encourage all children to read a book in the school holidays so please remind them. We hope to run our popular book swop event in the new year!.
