As the chilly weather sets in, please ensure your child comes to school dressed warmly and ready to enjoy their day, whatever the weather! ❄️🧥
✅ A coat every day is essential to keep your child cosy.
✅ Hats, scarves and gloves are recommended - please make sure they are clearly named to avoid them getting lost.
✅ If snow is forecast, please send your child with wellies and pack a pair of indoor school shoes to help keep classrooms clean and dry.
Thank you for helping us keep all the children warm, comfortable and prepared for outdoor play. 🌨️

Very creative and it's lovely to see how proud they all are! Well done everybody 👏
📢 Today, our school community gathered in remembrance of those who served and sacrificed. We observed two minutes' silence to honour the courage and resilience of those who gave their lives for our freedoms.
