Earrings must be taken out for PE sessions as per school policy. If your child is unable to remove their earrings by themselves, please could you remove them before school.

5. Swimming
The expectation is that all children will be able to swim at least 25 metres by the end of KS2.
We have 3 swimming slots- Term 1, Term 3 and Term 5.
All children will be swimming in Term 1 (one week block- 5 sessions).
Terms 3 and 5 will reserved for those children who are currently unable to swim 25 metres.
For those children who are confident and able to swim over 25 metres, specialist PE sessions will be arranged for them at school.
Thank you to all of the offers to help so far; we would really appreciate any further volunteers.

6. Forest Schools
Throughout the year the children will have the opportunity to take part in Forest Schools.
Most of these sessions last year took place on site….
This year we have 3 ‘off-site’ Forest Schools sessions each lasting for 2 days.
