📚 Library Reminder! 📚
🗓️ On Your Child’s Library Day:
1️⃣ Bring the library book into school
Whether they’ve finished it or not, the book needs to come back to school.
2️⃣ Reissue or Replace
If they’re still enjoying their book, we can reissue it so they can keep reading it or if they’re ready for something new, they can choose a new, exciting book to enjoy.
Check below to see when each year group visits the library and help your child get ready for their day! Let’s keep the love for reading growing strong! 🌟 ... See MoreSee Less

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. 🌨️
Stay snug! ... See MoreSee Less
