Nursery Items
Starting from 6th January 2006 children will need shorts in kits as well as pumps. There is no need to bring a T-Shirt, children can wear their school polo shirts. We will be using large apparatus in the school hall so for safety issues, no skirts, dresses and trousers. Can you please make sure you remove all jewellery from your child on Tuesdays for P.E.
We thank you for your support this term and wish you a very happy Christmas and a peaceful new year.
