August and September 2026
Welcome
Welcome back to the academic year 2026 – 2027. We hope you all had a good break and did some lovely things with your families to make memories. Welcome to the new children in Nursery and our Reception classes, we cannot wait to really get to know you. Teachers have been working over part of the summer to get classrooms ready and prepare all the great learning that will be happening this term.
New Members of staff
Welcome to Miss Kings who has joined our team and will be working in the Lavender Class on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Miss Kings is an experienced teacher who will bring a wealth of knowledge to our school and we are so pleased to have her join us. I know you will all make her feel welcome.
Welcome Back
Welcome back to Miss Keith who has returned to work after maternity leave and will be doing 3 days in Iris class at the beginning of the week
Appointments
Appointments should be made outside of school hours where possible. If an appointment is in the middle of the day then your child should attend school before and after. For example, if the appointment has to be at 11am then they can attend school till 10.30am and get their morning mark and also be back for their afternoon mark.
Uniform
All children, Nursery to year 2, are expected to wear uniform everyday for school. Our jumper or cardigan colour is red and you can wear black or grey trousers, shorts, skirts or dresses. Wearing a uniform makes children feel part of the community and also saves nice clothes from being ruined should they get messy and dirty.
PE
All children need to bring a PE kit into school and leave it in school for the half term or term. PE kit is a white t- shirt, shorts or jogging bottoms and Velcro trainers or plimsoles all in a bag or rucksack to fit on your child’s peg. Please ensure this is in school by the second week.
Celebration assembly
This will start Friday 4th September. Fridays it is celebration assembly in the afternoon at 2.30pm. If your child is chosen for an achievement certificate then you will receive a Weduc/ Reach More Parents invite to attend the assembly, through the inbox messaging service. Please come through our main reception, to be in the hall for 2.25pm, assembly will start promptly at 2.30pm, if you are late then you may be refused. We look forward to you joining our assembly.
Weather
Please send your child dressed for all weather eventualities, sunhats for the sun, a coat in case of rain. Summer has been sunny so please ensure children are dressed cool if we have more heat waves
Please ensure your child has a water bottle in school each day.
Non-Uniform Day
We will be holding a non-uniform day on Friday 16th October and the children can give a donation of £1 to come to school in their own clothes.
