Our Y3 pupils are diving into their swimming sessions starting Tuesday, 10th February, and swimming all the way until 7th July, 2026!
Please make sure your child brings their swimming kit to school every Tuesday, so they can make the most of this splashing good time!
Times are a little bit different this year! Please can Y3 Tanzanite arrive at school for 8:30 AM, as the coach will pick you up at 8:50 AM. For Y3 Citrine and Y3 Zircon you can stick to the regular school arrival time.
Dear families,
In a bid to make uniform more affordable, we have decided to change our school uniform slightly. Pupils can now wear navy blue sweatshirts/cardigans either with/without the logo, white polo shirt, plain black jogging bottoms/leggings/skirts, black shoes or plain black trainers, children no longer need to wear ties.
Girls can wear a pull over type (not loose) scarf in navy or black
On Thursday 16th April, FS2 will be holding a special Grow & Sow Day!
To help us with our activities, we kindly ask that each child brings one packet of seeds to school. These could be flower seeds, vegetable seeds, or herb seeds – anything that can grow in our garden!
We’re looking forward to a fun day of planting, exploring and learning together. Thank you for your support!
Our FS2 children will be visiting Darnall Library for a fun-filled time of exploring books and listening to captivating stories! Here are the details for each class visit:
- **Monday 20th April** – 10.30am – FS2 Garnet and ½ FS2 Topaz
- **Tuesday 21st April** – 2pm - FS2 Opal and ½ FS2 Topaz
Lunch will be as usual in school. Please ensure your child wears their full school uniform, sensible shoes, and brings a waterproof coat in case of rain.
If your child has a library card, kindly send it to school with them to give to their class teacher as they’ll have a chance to borrow books
We also need parent volunteers! If you’d like to help, please talk to your child's teacher. You would look after a small group of children.
Thank you for your support!

The School Photography Company will be capturing individual photos of all the children on Thursday, 30th April.
As many parents requested, these snapshots will be ready just in time for Eid-ul-Adha, making for perfect gifts to share with loved ones.
If you prefer that your child/children do not have their photograph taken, please let the school office know by 27th April.
If you have got younger siblings who want to join in the fun? Bring them along for the family photo at 8 AM or after school at 3:15 PM.
Throughout the school day, all other children will have their individual photos taken as usual!
Many thanks
