Homework Bags

Children will be provided with a book bag/homework bag free of charge. Please ensure that these are bought into school each day with your child’s planner and reading book. Please hear your child read each day if you can and five times a week at the minimum. Spellings and tables homework are set. Other homework is usually set on a Wednesday and returned on a Monday.

Jewellery

Jewellery such as rings, bracelets, necklaces etc. should not be worn to school and if children’s ears have been pierced only stud type ear-rings should be worn during the healing period after piercing. This is for reasons of health and safety. Children are allowed to wear one pair of stud earrings and a watch.

​

It is the policy of this school and Durham County Local Education Authority that all children taking part in physical education lessons remove items of jewellery on the grounds of personal safety. This policy is accepted and acted upon by parents. The issue of safety is relevant not only to the risk that applies to the wearer of jewellery but also to other children in the same class, who may come into contact with the wearer in physical activities.

​

Try to have ears pierced in the summer holidays, as pupils cannot swim with earrings in and they need to be removed for PE.

​

The school does not accept responsibility for loss, theft or damage to any personal items of property, clothing or jewellery.
