Support Staff - Mrs King, Mrs Cooper, Mrs West

Welcome to Term 2

I hope you have all had a great break. Even though we are heading in to the warmer months, please can you make sure that your child has a coat.  Could you also make sure that your child has their name on everything so that they are easy to find.  Please continue to ensure your child brings minimal possessions into school. 

A quick reminder to make sure your child has a water bottle with them every day.

Homework

When the children have PE, they should continue to wear their Bitham Brook PE kit into school with the school jumper over the top (if weather conditions require a jumper).  Please note the Bitham Brook PE kit is a plain white t-shirt and black shorts/leggings/tracksuit with daps/trainers.  Other sports clothing is not acceptable as it is important that, as a school, we have pride in our appearance.
