Children need a school PE kit that consists of pumps, black shorts and a blue T-shirt. For outside winter session, children can wear black/navy bottoms and their school jumper or cardigan for warmth. The children should come into school wearing their kits on PE days.
We kindly encourage families to spend time reading together at home at least three times a week. Sharing stories with an adult not only supports children's learning but also makes reading a fun and special part of their routine.
