Open Day and Open Evening, Today

A reminder that, despite the hot weather, our Open Day and Open Evening will continue to take place today.

Parents are invited to visit their child’s class from 2.15pm to 3.15pm. During this time, you will be able to join the children in a range of enjoyable learning activities, showcasing our diverse and creative curriculum.

For parents who are working during the day, school will open again at 6.00pm. Parents are welcome to tour the school and meet their child’s next teacher. There will also be displays of children’s work, subject information and interactive computer demonstrations, with staff available to guide you and answer any questions.

We look forward to welcoming you later today.

To help keep children as comfortable as possible during the hot weather, children are welcome to come to school wearing their PE kit for the rest of this week if they wish.

This is entirely optional, but it may help them stay cooler throughout the school day.

Thank you for your continued support.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Following recent message about the hot weather, we will be returning to the arrangements we used during the last heatwave two weeks ago. These measures will be in place tomorrow (Tuesday), Wednesday and Thursday this week. Please note that Friday is an INSET day, so children will not be in school.

We will make use of the cooler areas in school, including the cookery room, library area and school hall, where air conditioning is available. We will also continue to use shaded areas, keep blinds down where helpful, use fans where available and ensure children have regular opportunities to drink water.

As some areas of the school can become increasingly warm throughout the day, we will again offer an optional early collection.

If you wish to collect your child from 1.10pm on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, you are very welcome to do so. This is entirely optional and will not affect your child’s attendance, provided they are collected from 1.10pm onwards.

The main gate will be unlocked for access, however pedestrian gates will remain locked. Junior children should be collected from their external classroom doors. KS1 and EYFS should be collected via the school office.

Please continue to send your child in with a water bottle and appropriate sun protection.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
