Trips

We have an incredibly exciting trip coming up in March. We are going to Think Tank in Birmingham where the children will explore many galleries and there are two experiences for the children to take part in; ‘Space Mission’ & ‘Cauldron Chemistry’. Please remember that payment will be required prior to the trip and whilst payments are optional, it is easy to understand that without money, trips and experiences just will not happen. The cost of this trip (including coach travel) is £25.

Thank you for your continued support.

A few polite reminders:

School Uniform

Please ensure all school uniform has your child’s name in so that they do not go missing.

PE Kits

Our PE days are Monday and Thursday. Please make sure PE kits are in school as PE is an important curriculum subject.

Punctuality

Thank you to those who continue to arrive on time for school. School starts at 8.55am and children must be on time to ensure they are registered. A few minutes late each day soon amounts to a lot of wasted learning time.
