Newsletter 7th May 2025
HEADTEACHER’S MESSAGE Welcome back to the Summer Term. Although it has still been quite cool in the mornings and some days, please be aware that the sun is as hot now as it is in the middle of August. Please ensure that your children are taking all precautions for sun safety. All children should have a hat or a cap, please put sun screen on your child before school. If they need to top up their sun protection throughout the day, please teach them how to do this independently. Children can have small tubes of sunscreen that can be kept in their book bags or trays. There are many activities planned for the Summer Term including lots of outdoor learning opportunities. Please keep an eye of information for this from the teachers as some of these need your permission via ParentApp in order to allow your child to take part. These activities along with swimming, residentials etc. are not just a fun time for the children, they are also a huge part of the National Curriculum and allows children to learn outdoor skills as well as resilience and team work. When these opportunities come up please ensure children dress in appropriate clothing and arrive at school on time. Whilst Sports Funding covers the cost of the activities we are holding extra fund raising to cover the cost of transport to and from the venues. Mrs Armistead
PUPILS BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL
Please ensure children are not left unattended on the school playground before or after school. Doors open at 8.45am and children should not be on the playground without an adult before the doors open. Please ensure children do not play on the playground equipment before and after school. For health and safety reasons, children are not allowed to play on the equipment without staff supervision.
Please ensure that children dismount from bikes and scooters at the school gates and do not ride on school grounds. People have been hurt by children on bikes and scooters on school
