We understand mornings can sometimes be a rush, but arriving at school on time is so important for your child's well-being and success. Why Being On Time Matters: Supports Mental Health: Starting the day calmly and on schedule helps children feel more secure and less stressed. Boosts Confidence: Arriving on time means your child won't miss out on important morning routines or lessons, which sets them up for a positive and productive day. Encourages Responsibility: Punctuality is an essential life skill that builds respect for others' time. Even being a few minutes late can cause anxiety for children as they try to catch up with their peers and adjust to the flow of the day. Let's work together to ensure every child gets the best start to their day. A well-prepared and on-time arrival sets the tone for a confident and happy learner. Thank you for your continued support in fostering a positive learning environment for all our children.

We have a number of surplus books in school that we would like to make use of, rather than throwing them away. Therefore, we will be placing these books outside the Community Hub tomorrow (weather permitting) for you to take, free of charge. Additionally, please remember that any surplus milk and fruit is also always available to take away, free of charge, from the Community Hub on Fridays. We hope you can make use of these resources!
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will be provided with a free school meal tomorrow! We encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity by ensuring your child enjoys a free meal on Census Day. It's a great way for your child to experience our delicious school meals; it also benefits the school by securing funding. Check out our menu here
