Update October 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

As part of our ongoing focus on keeping all children safe and maintaining consistency across the school, we are taking some time this week to reinforce our expectations around jewellery and accessories.

Please be advised if children come to school wearing hooped earrings, necklaces, or bracelets, these will be removed and placed in a named envelope to be returned at the end of the school day. 

This is first and foremost a safety measure. Jewellery can easily get caught during play, PE, or other practical activities, which could lead to avoidable accidents. It also helps us ensure that everyone follows the same expectations — when one child wears jewellery, their friends often want to do the same, which makes it much harder to maintain consistency and fairness across the school.

We’d really appreciate your support in reminding your child to leave jewellery and accessories at home each day. This small step helps us keep everyone safe, focused, and ready for learning.

Thank you, as always, for your cooperation and support.

Do you have a child due to start school in September 2026? We are now offering tours of the school. Either complete this quick form or get in touch with the office to book a space - https://forms.office.com/e/ua03BE9VYX

 

We look forward to meeting you!

Dear parents and carers, 

 

All year 6 children have been invited to take part in an exciting Multisports Festival, organised by the Dartmoor School Sport Partnership. Students will take part in a carousel of activities relating to various sports, to support links between primary and secondary school.

To help ensure the event runs smoothly and safely, we are seeking parent volunteers to assist with walking to and from the astroturf, and supporting the children throughout the afternoon. Your help would be greatly appreciated. If you are available to assist on the day, please contact the school office or class teacher directly via Seesaw.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

 

Thank you for your continued support.
