Year 1
Book-bags in school everyday please and do write in the PACT books daily. We like to change books Mon, Wed and Fri.
Children are able to enjoy a piece of fruit through the EU fruit scheme each morning play.
Homework besides reading is given out on a Friday for return on Wednesday.
School starts at 9am and the school bell will ring at 8.55am by which time you should be in the playground ready to start school. Lateness is not acceptable without a sound reason. Year one line up in the key stage one playground. Uniform is part of the school ethos and is expected to be worn (details on our web)
Contacting teachers. Trying to talk to the class teacher in the morning simply halts a calm start to the day. If you need to talk urgently go to the office where they can pass on urgent messages. Do ask to talk to teachers at the end of the day, e mail the school or hand one of the teaching assistants a note in the morning. If there is a difficulty they will contact you to arrange a mutually convenient time.
Trips. Local area trips where the children might walk down the library will not need your permission. Travelling further a field or with transport will require your permission. Obviously we have to charge (Charging Policy is on our web) but we always aim to keep costs down and we can on many occasions reduce costs by subsidising some trips.
If you are asking someone else to collect you child at the end of the day we must have a letter or an e mail to confirm who this is with. We will not let children leave without permission in writing. If this is a regular occurence one letter with details will suffice.
