Behaviour
Good behaviour and work is rewarded by gaining points through the HOUSE
SYSTEM which is in place across the whole school. Every child belongs to a
particular house.
Unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated at any time and will be recorded on
a referral slip. If your child receives three of these referrals in a week, you will
be asked to come to school to discuss the matter.
Trips
Parents will be advised of any trips which are planned throughout the term.
Reading/Library Books
Reading books are changed weekly. Please write comments in the reading record
books if you wish concerning your childs reading at home. Ensure all books are
kept in the book bag and
that they are returned to school
regularly. All library
books must be returned on time and we
would like to remind you
that damaged books will incur a fine,
usually the full cost of the
book.
Homework
Children will be given homework on a Friday, to be
returned by the following Wednesday. All homework must
be returned on the named day. Children are also
required to learn their times tables and spellings at home
when requested to do so.
Information relating to various after school clubs will be shared with you as it
becomes available.
We thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Ms Jean
