A note about taking your child out of school ........ If your child has a medical appointment during school hours, please let your class teacher and the School Office know either the day before or as soon as possible.  Please come to the school office at the front entrance to either collect your child or drop them off in order that we can make a note of their departure/arrival. Thank you for your cooperation in this.

Our Guinea Pigs!                      Bert                                             Ernie                       Meet our guinea pigs, Bert and Ernie.  We also have another two called Winnie and Bea.  They will be taking it in turns to come to school. Come and say hello to them!

Free School Meals If you think your child may be entitled to free school meals, please see Neasa in the School Office or download the form on the Recent Letters Page.  Your child does not have to have free school meals every day, but it does mean that they will be entitled to any special event meals, and your child will also benefit from the additional support which the school will receive.

Adverse Weather In the event of our school closing because of snow, we will put messages on Radio Norfolk, and also on our website and facebook page.  You can also click on the link below to find out about Norfolk School Closures:- http://www.schoolclosures.norfolk.gov.uk/

Bicycle and Scooter Security Recently, we have had incidents where bikes and scooters that have been left overnight at school have gone missing.  For security, we would suggest that if you are going to leave bikes and scooters in the cycle storage area, that they are secured with a chain, as items left in this area are not the School's responsibility.  Similarly, scooters and bikes cannot be left in school corridors or classrooms during the day and must either be securely stored in the cycle storage area or taken home with you. Thank you for your co-operation in this.

Learning Number Facts We are continuing to find ways to help improve our children's mathematical skills.  We are working on learning number facts by heart. Your child will be bringing home the number facts they are currently learning so that you can help them memorise them. Please click here to find out more information about this.

Tesco and Sainsbury Vouchers Over the last few years parents and children have managed to collect a large number of supermarket vouchers for school, resulting in the 'free' purchase of many excellent PE, ICT and cooking resources.  Last year we collected lots of vouchers from both supermarkets and really benefitted as a school!  Can you help to make it the best year ever?  Please hand any vouchers you collect into your class teacher or into the school office.

A note to all Parents and Carers We have had some instances recently of parents coming in to school and waiting outside the classroom to pick up their children at home time. As you can appreciate, this is a busy time of the day as children and staff are getting things ready to go home, and space is limited. Therefore, we must insist that all parents/carers must wait outside the designated entrance for your child's class. Thank you.

Parking Please be aware that the car parks in front of the Infant and Junior Schools are for staff and authorised users only.  Parents can park in the car parks on the Rec. or on the street. We would appreciate your co-operation in this.

Milk The school has registered with the Cool Milk at School scheme. A letter and registration form has been sent to all parents/guardians.  If you wish to register for this scheme please complete the form or apply on line at www.coolmilk.com as soon as possible.

Don't forget .............   to label your child's clothes, lunchboxes and water bottles.  We have already had some sweatshirts go missing, and a lot of the lunchboxes and water bottles look the same!
