Homework is given out on Fridays and returned the following Friday. This will consist of maths, grammar and vocabulary. 

Spellings and times tables are expected to be practised regularly over the week. We take home a new set of spellings every Monday, to learn for our test each Friday. Reading diaries should be signed by an adult each evening after children read at home. 

P.E. is on a Tuesday – children should wear their PE kit to school on Tuesdays. 

If your child is having a school lunch, please ensure that payment is now done through our online payment service.
