There will be a further two days when the school will be closed to pupils for staff training. These dates will be advised in due course. This half term, we are focusing in particular on the virtues of being.

Curious and Active. Please support your children as we help them to understand the beauty of these virtues. Recreation is a free play session where the children have access to a large range of toys, games, computers, Kindle Fires, Wii and outdoor equipment.

Children are provided with unlimited drinks. Children can also bring in their own snacks or packed lunch. We ask that no nuts or nut products are given. We kindly ask that grapes given to infant children are cut, at a minimum, in half-length ways to reduce the risk of choking, thank you.

During late pick up we do provide the children with a variety of squashes or water and a selection of biscuits maximum 2 per child. If you would rather your child NOT be offered this please speak to Cath. To attend After School Club you will be required to fill out the clubs registration pack. This will give the children a chance to settle into after school club and meet the staff.

After the first half term they will be able to access the specialised activities. One week before the end of each half term you will receive a text message asking for confirmation to continue with current clubs for the next half term. To book by text please confirm Name, Clubs specialized or recreation and whether you need late pick up.
