School Uniform

At Temple Meadow it is school policy to wear school uniform.  We believe that this helps promote positive identity and unity, supports discipline, sets standards and prevents pupils from wearing unsafe, unsuitable ‘fashion’ clothing and shoes, which can also be more costly and harder to replace. Sweatshirts, cardigans, reversible fleece/waterproofs, fleeces and polo shirts with the school logo are all available from Ace Embroidery via their website https://templeps.ace-online.co.uk/catalogue in a range of sizes. Direct link available on Temple Meadow website.

PE

• Our Year 2 PE day is Tuesday so please make sure your PE kit is brought into school on the first day back and stays in school until the end of the half term/term.

Reading

• You will receive a reading book on your first day back in September.  This will be pitched based on the most recent assessment data we have for you, from before school partially closed.
• From week 2, you will take home a reading book and a library book.
• From week 2, we will be completing new reading assessments with you so your book band may be adjusting to reflect most recent assessment data.
• Please ensure your reading books and reading record are handed in each week and have been signed by an adult. New reading books will then be issued on a Monday.
• Each week's Star of the Week, will get to bring in and share a favourite book in our Friday Favourites session and receive the Friday Favourites certificate!

Water bottles

• You can bring a water bottle into school (filled with water only). Please remember to put your name on the bottle.
