REMINDERS

Please make sure your child always has their FULL PE kit in school and that it is clearly named. However, we will send your child’s PE kit home on a Thursday, as they will need to come into school every Friday’s wearing their FULL PE kit ready for their Friday PE lesson.

A letter will be sent out showing you what your child is expected to do for homework each week. The letter will include reading, weekly spellings and maths.

​

Please ensure your child comes to school with a water bottle every day. 

​

All uniform should be clearly labelled, so it can be easily returned if it gets misplaced.

​

I hope this will give you a further insight into your child’s education. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

​

Yours faithfully

Miss Giles
