    Welcome to the final half of the Summer Term, 2026.

    This term, there will be a continued focus on maintaining routines and expectations as we teach the children to thrive, learn and perform at their best levels. We will be expecting all the children to work as hard as they can on their executive functions, in order for them to follow the 5Rs ALL OF THE TIME.

    Unless they are unwell, your child must attend school every day, ready for an 8.40 am prompt start. Every moment missed in the school day has a long lasting impact on children's education. Learning begins straight away at 8.40am and children do miss out even if they are just a few minutes late.

    As always, if you have any questions there are a number of ways that you can contact us: You can speak to us directly at the end of any school day, you can get a message to us via the staff on the gates before or after school or you can contact the school through a phone call or an email.
