Drinks, snacks and lunch
Drinks – Your child will need to bring a water bottle to school every day, with water only inside (no squash or fizzy drinks.) Milk will be provided in school for children who would like to drink it.
Snacks – Your child does not need to bring snacks to school with them – we provide healthy snacks in the classroom.
School dinners – your child is entitled to universal free school meals up to year 2. Please encourage your child to eat independently with a knife and fork at home as this is what they will need to do at school.
Packed lunch – your child may prefer to eat a packed lunch from home. Their lunch needs to be healthy and nut free, please see the below document for more information.

Letters
We will communicate information to you electronically.
Letters may include important information about upcoming events such as parent workshops, non uniform days or trips so please make sure to read them carefully.
If you are having trouble accessing these letters, a member of our Admin team can help.
Evidence Me
We use ‘Evidence Me’ to make observations of your child’s learning at school.
We can send these observations to you, so that you can keep up to date with your child’s progress.
You can also send photos, videos and comments about their learning at home back to us.
Please make sure to download the ‘Evidence Me’ app to receive and send updates on your phone once your child starts school.
