A few uniform reminders!

Please make sure that your child wears correct school uniform each day, including shoes not trainers nor boots .
If your child has long hair please make sure it is tied back with a plain, simple hair band or ribbon. Keep the frilly, sparkly hair decorations for outside school!

Your child needs your help to help them improve their reading!

Thank you to parents who do this already!
It is really important at that your child, whatever their age and ability, reads regularly at home. Every day is best but even a couple of times a week, just for 10 minutes, reading to an adult at home will help your child's confidence and ability. Those children who read the most are usually the best writers and achieve well at school and in later life.
