WHO IS COLLECTING YOUR CHILD?
Please can we remind
parents to advise the teacher if someone different is collecting your child
after school? If there are a few adults who occasionally collect your child (eg
Grandma/ Auntie/ Friend) you can give the teacher a note saying “I give permission for …., etc to collect my
child if I am not there to pick them up”.
This is also relevant for collections from after-school clubs.
If you want to give
permission for your child to walk home alone, you will need to fill in the
relevant form that can be found on the website (Parent Information page) or
from the office.

BREAK TIME SNACKS
Please can we remind
parents that the children should only be bringing in fruit or vegetables for
their morning snack. Please DO NOT include packets of processed or coated fruit
eg fruit winders or yoghurt coated fruits. Thank you for following our ‘healthy
schools’ guidelines.
SUN PROTECTION
Now the summer term has
started I wanted to remind you about our Sun Protection policy. Your child’s
health and well-being are very important to us, which is why we:
* spend time learning about the importance of
sun protection;
* encourage pupils to wear hats when outside
and to use sunscreen;
* encourage pupils to drink plenty of water
to prevent dehydration.
More details can be found
in our Sun Protection policy.
Of course, your support is
very important if we are to make this work. You can help by:
* talking to your child about the importance
of sun protection at home;
* applying a minimum factor 15 sunscreen to
your child’s face, neck, arms and legs
(if exposed) before they leave home, in
order to safeguard them through the day;
* always sending your child to school in a
hat (preferably with a wide brim);
* ensuring your child brings in a water
bottle (with a sports cap).
…..COATS
However… as the British
weather is so unpredictable can we please ask that children bring a waterproof
coat with them as we still like them to go out at break and lunch times even if
the weather is a little wet.
----------------------UNIFORM
REMINDER-----------------
We are finding
that a number of children are wearing non-school colours or items. The school colours are Maroon (NOT Red) and Grey:
· Grey trousers or
shorts, skirt or pinafore
· White shirt, blouse
or polo shirt
· White/Grey/Black socks or Grey/Black
tights
· Maroon sweatshirt /
cardigan
· Red and White small check summer dress
School
Sweatshirts embroidered with the school logo are available to
order from the ‘Friends’ via the office, as are a number of other items. No other sweatshirts/jumpers should be worn.If your child wears a cardigan rather than a sweatshirt this should be in the school maroon/burgundy colour not in red.
Footwear
Children should wear shoes which are comfortable and practical, preferably in black. Sandals are allowed in summer in school appropriate colours they must have an ankle strap and be worn with socks (No Flip-Flops or Crocs). Footwear that covers the ankle e.g. boots should not be worn.
Jewellery and nail varnish should not be worn. Earrings can cause problems during PE and Swimming and your child will be asked to remove them before the lesson. Stud earrings are the only type allowed. Children will also be required to remove watches before games lessons.
Sun hats are recommended during the summer months, and also an application of sun cream to your child's arms, legs, face and neck.
