Welcome to our School!
At the heart of all we do are our children. We would like them to enjoy their childhood and be valued for their individuality, culture and heritage. We would like our children to go into the wider world as well rounded, happy, healthy and responsible citizens who care for the world and all the people who live in it. We strive for every child to be aspirational and forward thinking in all they do, and remain life long learners who are reflective, resilient and adaptable to the challenges of life in the 21st century.

After-school clubs
Our after school clubs for this half term start back this week. As a reminder, all clubs run until 4:10pm, apart from on Friday, when this club finishes at 4pm. Children are to be collected from the main entrance, where they will be dismissed by the sports coach and school office staff. These adults may be unfamiliar with those collecting your child, so please allow a little extra time for dismissal and make sure those collecting children know their passwords. Children attending clubs will need PE kits, which they will change into at the end of the day.
PE
When we introduced PE kits at the start of this academic year we asked that children had the correct school PE kit by Easter. This was to give families enough time to organise for this change. As a reminder, the PE kit we will expect to see in school from Easter will need to consist of:
-
Black or navy shorts or jogging bottoms
-
White T Shirt (with or without the logo)
-
Black, navy or royal blue jumper (optional) (with or without the logo)
-
Trainers or pumps
