Key information...

Doors open at 8.35am ready to start work at 8.45am. Please be on time, we don’t want the children to miss anything! We finish at 3.15pm. We enter school on a morning from the KS1cloakroom but will leave from the old office (Camelot), KS1 cloakroom (Encanto) and Neverland will leave from the back of their classroom.Please be prompt for drop off's and pick ups.

All children will need a water bottle and their reading book & book bag in school every day. PE kits should also be in school every day. We have an indoor session and an outdoor session, so children will need trainers – please do not send in expensive ones! We will send home kit at the end of each half-term to be washed. It is very important all children can get themselves changed into their PE kits and then back again into their uniforms. Please practise at home with your child so they can do this successfully on PE days.  Please ensure earrings are removed.  It is very important that all uniform and belongings are labelled clearly with your child's name so they can be easily returned if lost! Children will be encouraged to take responsibility for their own things. Please support school in supporting them! 

Children will be provided with a piece of fruit each morning. If you would like to send your child in with their own healthy snack (fruit, cheese, crackers, breadsticks, squeezy yoghurt for a morning and/ or afternoon playtime, please do.

Sweets, chocolate and crisps are not allowed.  

Any questions or concerns, please contact our school office and we will get back to you. 

Thank you!
