Swimming

Our swimming sessions are back! Starting Monday 3rd March. Your child will be going fortnightly, but we will always try for weekly sessions when possible. 

Home-school contact

Please use the home-school diary or email me with any questions and updates.  It would be useful to know if your child is out of sorts, has had any additional medications (eg paracetamol/antibiotics) etc.

If you need to speak to me urgently please phone the school office. 

If your child is going to be absent for any reason we really appreciate an early morning phone call to the office and a message left on the answering machine, as this greatly helps us plan our staffing. Thank you. 

Reminder of what’s needed in school

• Change of clothes kept in school, useful for any messy days.
• A supply of pads, wet wipes and creams if needed. (We will write in your diary if these are running low.)
• Emergency medication and spare buttons as well as any daily medication as well as occasional medication (eg. paracetamol)  - Please check medication and button dates. Please be reminded that medication is now stored in school.
• Snacks and squash if your child needs these.
• Clothes that are appropriate for the weather, especially during outdoor learning sessions.
• Blanket to go over laps when the weather is really cold. 

Earwig

We will continue to add photos and comments about what your child is getting up to at school. 

Please note - we do a lot more than we can possibly share and will do our best to keep you informed.

If you have any issues accessing Earwig please do let us know.  Please continue to make use of the extra feature where you can send us photos, comments or videos of what your child has been doing at home - This is lovely for your child to see and share with Staff.
