The PE kit bag should be labelled on the outside
Things to bring everyday

Your book bag
Uniform
Please follow the uniform policy link to our uniform page
Hats and scarves (please label these too!) need to be inline with the school uniform - black/grey/navy colours only
Please bring a spare change of clothes (also labelled) in a labelled bag (these clothes stay in school in case of an 'accident')

Reading books given out by the class teacher should be kept in the book bag everyday.
Home learning activities are sent out on Fridays and need to be handed in on Wednesdays.
Homework should be completed in pencil.
