We’ll start this week’s message with four thank yous…

Thank you

If your child made a donation to today’s Comic Relief Wear Red Day, many thanks.

Thanks to everyone who was able to come along this afternoon to our Happy and Healthy School Community session. This was the second of our two Happy and Healthy open events for Key Stage 2 parents – your chance to spend some time with your child and others in our happy and healthy school community.

A third thank you: thank you to everyone who attended Monday’s Topic Review session,  and for your feedback…

My child loves coming to school and said she really enjoyed the activity.

Finally, a few weeks ago, we had a sponsored Number Facts Challenge in school. We raised £532.65, half of which goes to this year’s school charity, Martin House, and half to our PTA. Thank you for your donations.

Uniform Policy

Today’s been a day when uniform has been optional, raising money for Comic Relief. Every now and again, it’s worth reading through our Uniform Policy to remind yourself of expectations on a more typical day in school. Here’s a few key points to remember…

No jewellery during PE. Advisors recommend no earrings are worn for PE; therefore, we will ask your child to remove earrings before the lesson and put them back in after the lesson. This will be carried out by your child. If they’re unable to remove or put their earrings back in by themselves, they must not wear them on the day they have PE. If you want your child’s ears pierced, it makes life easier for everyone if this is done at the start of the summer holiday.

Only discreet stud earrings are allowed. This means earrings should be small and not brightly coloured. The only other jewellery allowed are items that are absolutely required by a religion.

Devices that connect to the internet or that can record are not allowed. This means that things like smart watches are not allowed. This is for safeguarding reasons.

Please keep PE kit as plain as possible and avoid branding. For the past few years, we’ve allowed PE kit on PE days – this saves time and reduces lost property. However, we still want our children to look smart.

Staying safe while gaming

We’ve been made aware of some websites that children are able to access with inappropriate content. The websites allow children to bypass any restrictions to access games. Two of the websites we’ve come across are Unblocked WTF and Unblocked FreezeNova but we think there are more. Please be vigilant at home when your child is online.
