Just a reminder that the staff carpark is not a safe place to park and drop off children as we receive deliveries etc. during the school day. Please park in the village.

Forest School Wednesday
This half term Oak class will have their forest school sessions EVERY Wednesday. Children need to come to school in their PE kits, school shoes, navy joggers, white PE top and navy sweatshirt. This is a comfortable and practical base for us to add layers too. Children will need to bring one warm waterproof coat, a hat, scarf, waterproof gloves and if you have them welly/warm socks and waterproof trousers. Please can these come to school in a named bag. All children need a pair of wellies in school, if they don't please can they bring a pair to keep at school; if your child came home in their boots can they be returned in the morning, thank you.  Children will come home in their forest school clothes.
