Welcome to Reception

Autumn Term 2021

We will be performing the Nativity to parents on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd of December at 9:30am. This is subject to government guidelines. 

• Doors open 8:45
• End of day 3:15
• RB PE - Friday
• RD PE - Thursday 

Please send your child into school in their PE kit on PE days. As your child will be doing PE in bare feet in the sports hall, trainers are optional. If you wish to send your child to school in school shoes on PE days that would be fine.

• Please make sure all items of clothing are clearly named
• Please send your child in with a named water bottle
• Fruit snacks will be provided so there is no need for your child to bring a snack into school
