Whole School

• At pick up and drop off from school and clubs please do not remain on the school site. Children should not play in the playground or on the climbing frame once they have been collected.
• Please only give your child healthy snacks  and drinks such as fruit, vegetables and water to take to school. From Monday 30th October staff will ask children to take home any inappropriate snacks and drinks they may have. This is for the benefit our children’s health, and also to reduce litter on our school site.

• In the first week after the half-term break we will once more be taking part in the NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. Programme. Speak out. Stay safe. is a programme for children aged 5-11 which aims to help children understand abuse and to recognise the signs of abuse. Children are taught to speak out if they are worried, either to a safe adult or Childline.

This child friendly programme is aligned with the curriculum and consists of age appropriate virtual assemblies and supporting classroom based activities which we have reviewed. The content is delivered in an engaging, non-threatening and interactive way with the help of the NSPCC mascot Buddy. If you would like to know more about the Speak out. Stay safe. programme visit www.nspcc.org.uk/speakout.
