PE

A polite reminder that students require sports shoes / trainers for PE lessons, which are different to their school shoes. This applies even if their School shoes are black trainers.

3D, 3F, 3A and 3H starts 10.05am – 11.05am

Please make sure your son/daughter has their football kit on this day.

Girls and Boys teams will play on the Primary Back Field, and Mixed teams will play on the Primary Side Field. Please ensure that your child has their football boots, shin pads, long socks, PE shorts, class colour shirt and a hat for their event.

General Information

Nut free Primary School

For some children, any exposure to nuts is potentially very dangerous and can be life threatening. We do not allow any nuts to be brought into Primary. This includes snacks on school transport, birthday treats and food items brought in for any other special days. Some treats, such as macarons, contain hidden nuts. Please check the ingredients before sending into school. If snacks or birthday treats are found to contain nuts, we will contact you and either dispose of the food safely or ask you to collect and take back home.
