Please note if parents / carers have children in different year groups with different start and collection times they should drop their children off at the latest time and at the gate of the latest child. They should then collect their children at the latest time and we will gather children for you. Please do not ask for children to be released early from class during this time as it is important we keep children and staff separate. Appointments in school time should be avoided.

Weekly Reward System

We have a reward system each week where a child can win £5.00. All children enter a weekly draw, which is drawn in an assembly on Friday. If the child picked has been in school all week they win £5.00, if they haven’t then the money rolls over to the following week. Draws are made for Key stage 1, 2 and Reception.
