Samuel Allsopp Primary and Nursery School

☀️💙 We hope you’re all enjoying the summer holidays and making the most of this special time together. We can hardly believe there are now just 12 days to go until the new school year begins!

If you haven't yet ordered your uniform, there is still time to get your little ones dressed for success. 👔🎀

You can order online with our official uniform supplier, www.myuniformltd.co.uk or visit them in store on 82 Wellington Street, Burton upon Trent, DE14 2DS, where the team will be happy to help kit out your child with everything they need for a great a year of learning! 🌟

A reminder that all children must have;
- White collared shirt
- School tie
- Logo'd Jumper or Cardigan.
- Grey Trousers or Skirt
- Black smart school shoes (no trainers)

Please note: summer dresses should not be worn in the Autumn term.

P.E kit should be brought into school in a named P.E bag;
- Sky blue logo'd t-shirt
- Navy blue P.E shorts or Joggers
- Clean white trainers

There’s something special about putting on a school uniform. It’s more than just clothes, it helps our children feel that they are part of something bigger. 💙 It gives children a shared identity and reminds them that they are part of our school family, ready to learn, grow and achieve together. 🫶🏻

Let’s start the new school year together with pride, confidence and a sense of belonging. 🌟

HOT WEATHER UPDATE

Good Evening, with more hot weather on the way, children are welcome to wear their Samuel Allsopp P.E. Kit (light blue tshirt and navy blue shorts) from tomorrow (Thursday 9th) .

At this moment in time we DO NOT plan to close school early, but will remain OPEN AS USUAL.

Please help us keep children cool, by sending them with their water bottle💧🥤, and a sunhat🧢. Suntan lotion should be applied BEFORE school please.

Dear Parents and Carers,

This weekend brings a historic moment for English football⚽, and we want to capture that magic right here at Samuel Allsopp.🥳

On Monday morning, our entire school will be gathering together to watch the England match. We want to recreate the electric stadium atmosphere together, allowing the children to share in a truly momentous community occasion.

We need a huge favour from you to make this work. Please help us keep the match result a complete secret🤫 from your children. Our goal is to walk into the school on Monday with absolute suspense.

We want 100% attendance so that no child misses out on this unique shared memory. Please ensure your child arrives on time, 8.40am at Upper site, and 8.55am at Lower site, ready for an unforgettable morning of cheers, team spirit, and celebration as we will watch the game for 9am! (please note proper uniform should still be worn, shirt and tie etc)

Let’s keep the secret safe until Monday!
'scominghome!
