Thank you for your support during the 2016-2017 school year.

I am particularly grateful to all the parents who have supported home-school reading.  We now have considerable evidence that these parents who continue to listen to their child reading up to and including Year 6 make a difference.  Collecting and discussing vocabulary and the words in books enables your child to achieve in reading writing and mathematics. Thank you. Continue reading →

Along with this your child will need a water bottle, sun hat/sun cream and any required medication.

Dear Parents,

A Mile A Day: We have already started this ‘Daily Mile’ initiative with Year 6 and are now extending this to all Key Stage 2 Years 3 – 6. This is not an extension of playtime but an effort to improve the physical, emotional and social health and wellbeing of children through a short burst of physical activity.  Mental wellbeing is as important as physical.  10 laps around the playground is a mile Children do not have to run their laps but will be encouraged to walk briskly if not running.  A time in the day has been allocated to each class.  New Year:  A time to get minds and bodies active and create a sense of wellbeing.
