Headteacher’s Welcome

Love, Laugh , Learn I am delighted that everyone arrived back in school safely after the summer break. Children in Years 1 & 2 were eager and happy to return. The Reception and Nursery children have settled well and we look forward to more nursery children starting next week. As always we have high expectations and no barriers will be too great for us to overcome to ensure every child a successful year. We believe the firm foundations we set down through our beliefs, curriculum and teaching will help our children to manage life’s challenges. Our Golden Rules will help children to achieve this:

We are kind We are gentle

We look after property We listen

We are honest We work hard

We will continue to strive to make our school a caring community and our children sensitive to the needs of others; a community in which all members have a sense of fairness and justice and the contribution of each member is valued. I always encourage an open dialogue with parents. Teachers and support staff are on the playground each morning and at the end of the school day. Please feel free to talk through any concerns you may have. If you require an appointment to speak with me please do so through the school office. I look forward to seeing you in and around school. Yours sincerely Mrs Denise Garner Executive Headteacher Bed (Hons) ,NPQH

Polite Reminders

School uniform can be ordered from the school office on a Tuesday morning or Thursday afternoon. We do have stock available to purchase from the school office, but we can also place orders on completion of a uniform order form and receipt of payment. You can print an order form from our website. Please allow up to 3 weeks for your order to be delivered to us. Absence Please contact the school on 01952 387860 before 9:00am to report your child’s absence. You are required to contact the office every day that your child is absent. Beginning and end of the day Our school policy is whoever brings a child to school collects the child unless you have informed us via telephone or through the class teacher.

Safety We encourage children to travel to school on their bike or scooter. However to keep everyone safe we ask that your child dismounts their wheeled vehicle before entering the playground. The Adventure Playground is only to be used during school hours when school staff are available to monitor so children are safe. Health Take A Peek Once A Week - please continue to check your child's hair weekly for head lice and treat accordingly.

Medical Appointments

As you are aware the school day starts at 8.50am and ends at 3.05pm and all pupils are expected to stay in school during these times. When making medical appointments please ensure that these are made, where appropriate, outside of school hours. If this is not possible please inform the school office as early as possible and also provide proof of appointments for our records.

Thank you
