Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we put this new system in place. The barriers will ensure all children are dismissed in a safe and prompt manner.

Physical education
We want all children to be physically active. In addition to playtime and lunchtime with their year group each child has two PE lessons a week.
These are the PE days for each year group:
Children can come to school in their PE kit.
We request children wear the correct PE kit. This is pair of black shorts, leggings or jogging bottoms , a white T- shirt ( no logos) and a pair of black pumps. For outdoor PE pupils can wear trainers. Hair bands should be green, black, or grey.
Swimming
On a swimming day all children should wear their school uniform.
Water bottles
Keeping hydrated helps children concentrate in lessons. We encourage all pupils to bring a water bottle to school each day. Water bottles will come home each day for cleaning and refilling.
