Newsletter 21st October 2022

Dear Parents and Carers

We hope you all have a happy and safe half term holiday.

Please remember that school is closed for the Half Term Holiday and Training Day on Monday 24th - Monday 31st October.

Children return to school on Tuesday 1st November at 8.40am.

Please drive safely around school and take care if you are walking past the houses in case a car is pulling off a driveway.

When you are parking, do not park across a dropped kerb or on a resident's driveway.

Home Learning Policy

After the half term holiday, we will be re-launching our Home Learning Policy, with a new focus on the importance of basic skills, listening and reading.

Please read the policy and look out for 'Time for Talk' activities each week on the newsletter for your child.
