Healthy eating
We encourage our children to eat healthily, we have subscribed to Food for Life to work with us to ensure our food takes sustainability into account. We have designed our curriculum to ensure that we teach children how to grow, cook and eat seasonal food that are mostly locally sourced. Please join us in monitoring what children bring into school for their packed lunch.
Charity work
Post pandemic, there has never been a time when supporting charities has been more relevant. We want to continue showing our support for cancer and heart charities to name a few. We have local soup kitchens, residential homes for the elderly, hospices and lots of our local community that need our support. We will appreciate your support in carrying out this vital work and highlighting the need to serve the community to our children.
Sustainability
Our world needs children who understand and share the passion to save it from the climate emergency it faces. We want to highlight reusing and recycling in all we do at school and beyond the school gates. The children will be learning a lot about the effects our actions on the earth. They will be looking at litter, water usage and energy use, please join us in this drive. The curriculum ensures our children understand the consequences of travel and the food they eat.
Physical Education
PE is twice a week. This year we will continue to ask children to come in to school in their PE kit on the days that they have PE. Please ensure that your child wears the correct school recommended PE kit. They should wear (Please note that football kits or branded T shirts are not part of our school uniform):

PE Days:
Each class will have two PE lessons a week, which will be communicated to you by the class teacher.
Remote learning
To ensure that children do not miss out on their learning during days off sick, we use google classroom as an online platform for remote learning. Over the next week, we will be giving your child their login details, if they do not already have it, so that they can access google classroom. We use this platform when teaching remotely and to upload weekly homework. Your child will be able to access their homework on a Friday and will need to complete it by the following Thursday. Homework can be completed either in the homework book provided or online.
Reading is at the heart of our curriculum, we want our children to read widely for pleasure. Children will bring a book home each week as part of their homework. We ask that you please read with your children daily and record your comments in the reading record provided. Books are changed every Thursday. As there are opportunities for us to hear your child read at school, we ask that they bring their reading books in each day with them.
We look forward to working closely with you over the year to support your child’s progress. If you wish to contact your child’s teacher please do so using the email address below:
