Timings

Our school day begins at 8.45. The bell rings and children line up and are taken in by their class teacher. The day ends at 3.15. Children are collected from outside their classroom. Please do not take a child without the adult in charge being aware. 

The school week is 32.5 hours. 

“From the first day of term to the last, the small moments in a school day make a real difference to your child. #AttendanceCounts”

Children will need a uniform or plain white t-shirt and black shorts kept in a drawstring P.E. bag.

All children also need a pair of trainers for activities on the field. In winter we advise the children to wear tracksuit or jogging bottoms for outdoor P.E.

General

All articles of clothing should be marked clearly with your child's name, including shoes, trainers and Wellington boots.

The only jewellery allowed is a watch (no apple/smart watches please) and small stud earrings. These must be removed for PE.

Forest School 

Forest School takes place outside in all weathers. It’s important the children are dressed appropriately for Forest School so they are protected from the elements, insects and general scrapes.

Please ensure they have:

• Long sleeved top (T-shirts do not give adequate protection from bugs and scrapes)
• Jumper (when its colder)

• Long trousers
• Water proof coat (warm one in colder weather)

• Water proof trousers (not just when it’s raining, children will get muddy and need to sit on wet surfaces all year round)
• Sturdy waterproof pair of boots or wellies (trainers are not suitable; boots are better than wellies especially in the cold)
• Hat (to protect against sun as well as cold)
• Spare pair of socks and underwear (just in case they get wet)

In addition:

• Warm gloves (please supply all year if your child gets cold easy)
• Thick socks or two thinner pairs

Please use old clothes as they will get dirty!
