Our Y3 pupils are diving into their swimming sessions starting Tuesday, 10th February, and swimming all the way until 7th July, 2026!
Please make sure your child brings their swimming kit to school every Tuesday, so they can make the most of this splashing good time!
Times are a little bit different this year! Please can Y3 Tanzanite arrive at school for 8:30 AM, as the coach will pick you up at 8:50 AM. For Y3 Citrine and Y3 Zircon you can stick to the regular school arrival time.
Dear families,
In a bid to make uniform more affordable, we have decided to change our school uniform slightly. Pupils can now wear navy blue sweatshirts/cardigans either with/without the logo, white polo shirt, plain black jogging bottoms/leggings/skirts, black shoes or plain black trainers, children no longer need to wear ties.
Girls can wear a pull over type (not loose) scarf in navy or black

We’ll be back and ready to learn on Tuesday, 5th May, with breakfast club opening at 8am as usual!
Wishing you all a fantastic long weekend filled with fun and family time!

Good morning families

Dear families
Over the course of Year 3, we will be studying the Peak District in Geography. To support the children with their understanding of what the Peak District has to offer, we will be going on an educational visit to Matlock Farm Park in Derbyshire.
The visits will take place on: - Monday, 18th May
To get a full day at the farm, we aim to leave school at 8.55am, so please drop your child to school at 8:40am. We expect to return to school by 4.00pm. You will need to collect your child from the junior hall. If there are any delays, the school’s office team will contact you by 3.30pm. To ensure you can receive any updates on delays, please check your contact details are correct at the school’s main office.
We are asking for £15.00 per child which covers the cost of the coach and entry to the farm. Please return payment and consent via the Arbor app.
For this trip, children must wear full school uniform including sensible shoes/wellies. You will need to provide your child with a packed lunch and a bottle of water with their name written on it. If your child is in receipt of free school meals a packed lunch will be ordered for them.
In the event of wet weather, we are asking that all children bring a weather-proof coat with their name written in it.
