Getting to School Safely
Most children walk to school. Parents are requested to see younger children to the gate and to receive them at closing time.
Please bring your child before the morning assembly (9:30 AM).
Children should come by a safe, regular way, for example walking with neighbours or a trusted adult.
In heavy rain or snow, check Notices. If the school is closed, children need not come.
Children go home only with their parent or an adult named in writing to the class teacher.
No child leaves school in the middle of the day without telling the Head Teacher.

Foundational Learning
In the early years we focus on reading with joy and understanding numbers. Every child is assessed gently and supported at their own pace.
Teachers use stories, local objects and games, so children learn by doing.
