If you would like to contact your child's class teacher, you are welcome to talk to them at drop off and pick up times or contact them at the school email address.

Home learning
Following parent and carers feedback, we now send home a Homework Grid three times a year (Autumn, Spring and Summer terms). The grid includes: Weekly spelling, Reading advice and Maths activities. Alongside this, we share an overview of cross-curricular activities for the term. These give children the opportunity to choose which tasks they would like to complete. We set dates for when any completed work should be returned, and children are then given the chance to showcase their learning.
