where possible but occasionally there are extra payments required to cover costs:

• Class fund (£5 per term- £15 per year to be

paid through Scopay)

• End of year trip (£20 + spending money)

Get involved!

Children really value the support of the adults around them – you

are their inspiration and role models! Although family life is busy, please try and find time to give your child support and guidance. Our advice is: ‘Be the person you want your child to be …’ This may involve:



helping with ideas, encouragement & praise



providing a distraction-free place to work



checking written work for spelling and punctuation



providing equipment and a quiet place to work



sharing and enjoying engagement in learning



Time for hobbies and clubs



commenting on successes and/or any problems in a child’s home / school book. Please do check your child’s diary daily and sign in at the end of each week



attending parent / teacher evenings , VIP events, class assemblies & PFA events



continue to read to them / hear them read – share stories and news! To keep you informed about your child’s learning and progress we will be sending out text letting your know how they are getting on.

‘VIP Look’ We want you to see what your child has been doing at school more often. That’s why we will be introducing drop in book look sessions every month from 3:15 for half an hour. You child can show you a chosen exercise book so you know what they are up to and can understand our new expectations! We will let you know of up and coming drop in sessions via text.
