All of the school uniform can be purchased from Mapac. See the Uniform Policy. Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with the child's name. The Friends frequently organise second-hand uniform sales - ask at the school office.
Always talk with your child's class teacher first. It is important to keep up this link to ensure home and school have a common understanding of how best to meet the needs of your child. Concerns can then be referred to senior staff if needs be.
It is a legal requirement that the school is informed if a child is absent for reasons other than sickness. In line with legislation that came into place in September 2013, the school will not approve requests for authorised absence during term-time, except in exceptional circumstances.
Parent Pay
All dinner money must now be paid via Parent Pay, please.
We are a Nut-free school.
If you provide your child with a packed lunch please do not include nuts/food containing nuts in your child's lunch box as we are a nut free school.
Children are welcome to drink fruit-flavoured water or juice cartons as part of their lunch. However, in the classroom, children can only have water in their water bottles.
Thank you for your cooperation.
