REMINDERS

Please make sure your child always has their FULL PE kit in school and that it is clearly named. However, we will send your child’s PE kit home on a Thursday, as they will need to come into school every Friday’s wearing their FULL PE kit ready for their Friday PE lesson.

The children need to continue using Timetable Rockstars to help learn their timetables. Your child’s login is in the front of their yellow reading record. 

​

Please ensure your child comes to school with a water bottle every day. 

​

All uniform should be clearly labelled, so it can be easily returned if it gets misplaced.

​

I hope this will give you a further insight into your child’s education. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully

Miss Giles
