                            Contacting School

Parents and carers who have a worry or concern or would like advice  about any aspect of their child's education are encouraged to share this concern with their child's class teacher. Should a parent or carer wish to have further discussions, the following members of staff should be approached:

  • Mrs Overend (Reception, Year 1 and 2 Team Leader)
  • Mrs Lynne Taggart (Inclusion Manager)
  • Mr Matt Shillito (KS2)

In the unlikely event that concerns remain at this point, parents and carers are encoruaged to meet with the following members of staff:

  • Deputy Head: Mr Shillito
  • Head Teacher: Mr Edwards
  • Chair of Governors: Dr Percy-Smith

 

Charging

We do from time to time provide activities that are hard to fund from the general school budget, theatre in school, trips, music lessons and some clubs. For these activities we will often ask for a voluntary contribution from parents to cover the cost.

Cost should never be a barrier to participation in any of these activities. We have access to a trust fund to help out with any costs. Please feel free to talk to the Head Teacher, in confidence, should you require some help.

Our school uniform is as follows:

  • Purple sweatshirt or cardigan
  • Grey or black skirts / trousers or shorts
  • White polo shirt
  • Dark coloured or white socks
  • Smart school black shoes or dark coloured trainers (Not White)

All pupils are required to wear school uniform as this promotes our school identity, ensures everyone is equal and contributes to achieving high standards. New and nearly new uniform can be purchased throughout the year from the school office.  

Pupils may wear religious dress as long as it conforms to school colours and does not present a health and safety risk.

Jewellery

Pupils are asked not to wear jewellery in school.             Plain studs are acceptable in pierced ears but children must be able to remove and insert them independently on PE days. We do encourage the wearing of watches. Again these will be removed during PE sessions
