All parents and students are cordially invited to the school.
As you are aware, we said goodbye to Mr. Tyrrell this year, but we are thrilled to welcome Mrs. Helliwell, who is now teaching Class 2 full-time after completing her teacher training.
On Wednesday, September 11th, 3:45pm, we will have a school "drop in" where we can meet the class instructor.
Classes 2, 3, and 4 are affected by this.
The website has all the information you need (along with a link to the online store), and the only change for this year is the addition of House Team-related colour PE tops.
This implies that the colour of your child's PE shirt will depend on the River Team they play on.
There is a form to fill out if you believe you qualify for school transportation.
Both the Key Stage 2 running club and the creative writing club will start the following week.
This year, a school luncheon will cost $2.30.
Keep in mind that free school meals are provided to students in reception, year one, and year two.
You can network with other parents and school mates at our Macmillan Coffee Morning on September 27.
The Governors are dedicated to ensuring an inclusive education for all students and take seriously the safety of all students at the school.
On the website, you can find information about what we do in class as well as suggestions for talking to kids about online safety.
This year, we shall conduct a review of homework in accordance with our policy.
The links to Google Classroom can be found on the website, which is still in use.
Please feel free to ask your class teacher if you have any questions regarding these.
Here is a user manual for Google Classroom.
As always, we will use the website, social media, and text to keep you informed of everything happening at school.
