Encouraging independence and responsibility for learning

Students are responsible for their jumpers and belongings. Please name all items to avoid disappointment when (not if) items go missing!

Any found jumpers will be kept in classrooms for parents to go through at the end of the day if required (please ask).

Please don’t bring in toys/ items from home because they can get lost/damaged which can be very traumatic.
