Welcome to Reception and Year 1

Our Gospel Value

Our class gospel value is forgiveness; we believe forgiveness is important as it allows us to follow our school mission statement and to be happy at school. Our main class rule is to be kind and we recognise that forgiveness can be demonstrated through a kind word or action, a smile, or an offer to play.

Being prepared for school each day

Children will need their waterproof coat, a bottle filled with water and a bag for reading books. The children are expected to come to school looking very smart and are should take pride in their uniform – “Looking Smart, Thinking Smart!”  Could you please make sure all names are written inside all the items of uniform. As staff, we always remind the children to look after their belongings. Could you please make sure your children are wearing the correct school uniform daily, including smart school shoes, ties and their hair tied up. Could we also ask that the children do not come to school with a pencil case, toys, wearing nail varnish and jewellery as this is not part of their school uniform.

Break and lunch times

Children have one breaktime in the morning. For this time, they are welcome to bring a healthy snack with them to eat during break.
