Our expectations

We’ve had an extremely positive start to the year with pupils showing exemplary attitudes to their learning and behaviour. To ensure this continues, we’d like to clarify our expectations around trading cards and toys. All cards (Pokemon, football etc) and all toys are not allowed in school and should be kept at home.

Our reasons for this are:

• Cards/toys get lost or damaged which causes upset
• Cards/toys are swapped, children change their minds and this causes arguments
• Cards/toys get played with during lesson time and this causes disruption

Parents and carers are kindly asked to ensure that children do not come to school with any toys and/or cards.

The overall care and welfare of our pupils is our main priority. Toys and cards cause arguments which leave pupils upset and distressed. Any child caught with cards or toys will have them removed by a member of staff who will keep hold of these items and return them to parents/carers at the end of the school day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to your child’s class teacher.
