Punctuality issue! Please ensure that your child attends school on time every day. Good attendance will make a significant difference to the progress that your child will make at school.

Most medical professionals will arrange appointments out of school hours in you request them. We would appreciate your co-operation on these matters.
Please note that earrings are not part of school uniform. It causes problems when children come to school with earrings because they are not allowed to do PE with them in. PE is a statutory part of the National Curriculum and earrings prevent them from being able to access this because they are not safe and can cause injury to the child. Earrings should not be worn at school. Please also ensure that if your child has long hair it is tied back for PE Lessons. – please support us with this to prevent injuries and ensure your child can access the full curriculum.
