Please remember if your child will be four years of age by the 31st August 2021, you need to apply to eadmissions by Friday 15th January 2021 for a Primary School place. If you need any assistance in applying for a school place, please let us know.

Finally; the school will be closed on Friday 23rd October for staff training relating to race and identity and children will return to school on Monday 2nd November. Do have a look at a fabulous video of a parent and child singing the nursery song: Head, shoulder’s knees and toes in Bengali!
Excellent! We would love to learn other songs in different languages!
We wish you all a very safe and happy weekend.

A warm welcome to all our children and families who have started this week.

In addition to that some of our children have been developing their curiosity by looking for mini beasts, others have been very interested in dragons, and some have been learning about making fruit smoothies and creating a simple bar chart about children’s ages.
Should you have any questions about how child is settling or indeed about their learning, please see your child’s keyworker. My thanks to everyone for maintaining social distance while waiting to go into the school, thank you for your patience. We wish you all a very happy and safe weekend.

A very warm welcome to all our children and parents/carers who started nursery this week and indeed an equal welcome to all our children who have returned from the summer break. The children have been settling well into nursery, developing their confidence within the nursery through creating a castle and moat, picking berries and making fruit smoothies as well as sharing stories. Thank you all for adhering to our social distancing guidelines. Please remember book bags are only to be use to bring your child’s book to school, not to come into the school. Please ensure buggies are folded.
We wish you all a very happy and safe weekend.
Best wishes,
