What to Bring to School

• Water Bottle: A clearly labeled reusable water bottle to keep hydrated throughout the day.
• Book Bag: A school book bag for reading books, homework, and letters.
• Lunch: If your child is bringing a packed lunch, please ensure it is healthy and nut-free to adhere to our school policy. Hot meals are also available—please contact the school office for more details.
• Outdoor Clothing: A coat or jacket appropriate for the season, as children will have outdoor play in most weather conditions.

Daily Routines and Expectations

• Attendance and Punctuality: Regular attendance and arriving on time (8:45 am) are key to your child’s success. School finishes at 3:20 pm.
• Labeling Belongings: To avoid lost items, please ensure all clothing, water bottles, and lunchboxes are clearly labeled with your child’s name.
• Healthy Snacks: Children in Reception are entitled to a free piece of fruit daily. You may send an additional healthy snack if needed.

Supporting Your Child

• Spend time reading together daily to build literacy skills and a love of books.
• Promote independence by helping your child practice dressing, fastening shoes, and using the toilet confidently.
