Key Information
Key EYFS Documents
Key Person
Your child has been allocated a key person. This adult will be your main contact within school as well as the person who will keep you up to date with their progress.
We operate an open door policy and we are happy to speak to any parents that wish to speak to us. This is better after school, but if it is something that may affect your child during the school day, then we will be happy to listen in the mornings.
Uniform Reminder
Children are expected to wear:
- Yellow Polo Shirt
- Blue Jumper or Cardigan (Preferably with The School Logo)
- Black Skirt or Trousers
- Black Shoes (Please No Trainers)
- Yellow or Blue Gingham Summer Dresses

- Lines shaved into the hair
- Patterns shaved into the hair

Read Write Inc.
In Reception and KS1 we follow the RWI scheme for teaching Phonics, Reading and Writing. When the children start in Reception full time we will begin teaching the Set 1 Sounds, learning one new sound a day.
Please use the link below to support your child with pure reading of phonics sounds.

What to Expect, When?
This is a parent’s guide to the EYFS to help parents and carers find out more about how your child is learning and developing during their first five years, in relation to the EYFS.
We have two copies in school to loan out. If you would like to borrow this guide for a week and have a read at home, please speak to a member of the EYFS team.
