This website is dedicated to YOU -  our wonderful pupils; it is here to support you -and your parents and carers- with your learning. 

On this page, you will find information, support and a variety of resources that can be used to aid your learning from home. Spelling Frame  and TT Rockstars will also help you. Please continue to check Facebook and Twitter for the latest school updates. 

On PE days, Wednesday and Thursday, please send your child to school in their full PE kit.  

(If your child attends a sports club after school on a day when we do not have P.E. they will need to come to school in uniform and change for the club after school.)

Thank you to everyone who returned them before the holiday.

A quick reminder that our first lesson, SODA Maths, starts when school opens at 8:45 am. All pupils are expected to complete this activity. Thank you.

Our priority is your child's happiness and well-being. Parents and carers, if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, please don't hesitate to contact  us by phone or through an appointment at the office. 

Best wishes,

Miss Vickers.

Times Tables

Times tables are the heart of most things mathematical and it is crucial that your child can recall multiplication and division facts quickly. TT Rockstars is brilliant for developing these key skills in a fun and competitive environment. Pupils should aim to practise for 5 minutes at least 3 x per week for maximum benefit!
