School yard
The entrance to the school yard is very tight and at times our pupils are finding it difficult to make their way through and get into school due to the number of people waiting to see their children in. To make this easier can we ask that all parents/carers say goodbye to their children well away from the school gate and leave our yard just for pupils. Thank you.
Registration and lunch orders
Our children are now in the hall for registration in the mornings rather than in classes. If your child has a letter in their bag (i.e. for an appointment, explaining an absence, permission slip) can you please make sure they know it’s there and that they must hand it to their teacher once they are back in class. We are reinforcing this message during registration.
Lunch orders are being taken at the same time as registration. As we order our lunches from Stepps Primary School kitchen, we require accurate numbers for them to send the correct amount of meals to us. If your child is having a school dinner, please make sure they have looked at the menu that has been sent home and they know what they are ordering as we cannot add on/amend once we have submitted our numbers for the day. The menu is online if you have lost your copy or we have spares in the office.

E-mail addresses
If you would like to receive e-mails with school information and have not done so already, please give your child a note of your e-mail address and it will be added onto our distribution lists. No urgent information will be sent via e-mail, we will text or phone.
Accidents and spillages
If your child has had to borrow some clothing from the office can you please make sure it is returned to school once it’s washed. We have limited clothing as spares and we need everything to be handed back. If your child has to borrow something we will issue them with a slip advising of what has been borrowed.
Football cards
No football cards are allowed in school as they are causing conflict and disagreements both in the yard and in class.
Flu immunisation
Consent forms have been issued to all pupils for the flu immunisation. The nurses are due in school on 24th November. Please complete and return these forms as soon as possible. If no form is received back, your child will not receive their immunisation. Any questions regarding the immunisation, please call Donna Wallace (school nurse contact) 01236 771058.
Gym kit/shoes
Your child will be aware of their gym days so please make sure they have all the kit they need in their bag. We are being asked to call home more and more as some kit has been forgotten and I’m sure that arranging for this to be brought in isn’t ideal.
Nut free school/Healthy snacks
We ask that you support our efforts of encouraging children to make healthy choices. Our Health Busters have worked hard to establish “Free Choice Friday” where children can bring a treat of their choice in to school if desired. Some children still choose healthier options all week. Some of our children have nut allergies, so please be aware of this when giving your child their snacks/lunch.
