School Dinners
Delicious meals can be bought from the canteen. Children can bring their own packed lunches but we like them to be healthy and wholesome - no fizzy drinks or sweets please!
Milk can be bought as a healthy drink. Free fresh fruit is provided every day.

Parent Partnership
Our parent partnership is built on trust and respect. We operate an 'open door' policy. Parents are welcome to come in to chat about their children informally.
Each child, parents and teacher come together three times a year for a Home/School Consultation. Pupils love celebrating their achievements with both their parents and teacher. A written report is shared at the end of the academic year.
Termly sharing assemblies are a special time to see the children perform and share their achievements and work with their families and friends.
We have a strong tem of parents coming into the school, all who are police checked, to read withthe children or work with the teachers in the classrooms.
PTFA - every parent has talent and we can use it. We welcome new parents and friends who have innovative ideas to raise money for the children to have special things like the playground train, car and ship, the nursery environmental garden.

School Uniform
We like all our children to feel they belong to this great school so we like all of them to wear school uniform from the day they join us. It's practical, comfortable and saves on arguments in the mornings! You can buy all the essentials through the School Office.
Green school sweatshirt/cardigan, fleece; white shirt/polo top; grey trousers/shorts/skirt/pinafore dress; green and white dresses are worn in the summer.
Hair accessories should eb green, black or white. Only stud earrings are allowed and need to be removed for PE.
PE
The children are encouraged to change for PE. The children require a T shirt, pair of shorts and plimsolls in a suitable bag.
Hats
Sun hats may be worn to protect the children from the sun during playtime and lunchtime periods. These may be purchased in school.
Shoes
It is important that children wear sensible shoes to school. They should be a colour which compliments the school uniform i.e. black. Sandals can be worn in the summer but must have closed toes. Black trainers can only be worn in an emergency.
