Sing a long a Middle Street

Come and join us in the hall on Friday mornings from 8.20 for a sing along with some of your favourite songs. Mr Brazil will be there to welcome you with his guitar. Children and adults all welcome.

A Reminder

Children’s (and parents) punctuality has improved. Good attendance and being in school on time impacts very positively on children’s learning. Children, who are in school regularly and on time everyday make excellent progress, are confident and happy because they are not missing out chunks of learning.

So here is a reminder of times of the school day they are as follows: Children can come to breakfast club which starts at 8.00 am. Enter the school via the side gate in Middle Street. Children not attending breakfast school can begin coming into school at 8.45. All children should be in class ready for register by 9.00 am. The bell rings at 9.00 to mark the start of the school day.

The day ends for the infants at 3.10 pm and the Juniors at 3.15 pm.
