Uniform
• Pre-Prep children will return in their normal school uniform and change within the Pre-Prep as they have always done.
• Children in Years 3 – 6 should wear their Games kit 5 to school each day for the time being. We have made this decision to make life simpler for us all and to avoid
the necessity to create and supervise lots of additional changing rooms. It may be that they can revert to wearing school uniform once we have all settled into our new routine. Games will, for now, take place at the end of the day to avoid children sitting in afternoon lessons in potentially wet and sweaty games kit.
• Children in Years 7 and 8 should arrive wearing their normal school clothing and they will change in our two main school changing rooms as they would normally.
Astro Updates
Our Astro will be renovated and ready for use soon but please bear with us as work goes on during September. A lot of work has been going on ‘behind the scenes’ to get things ready and to ensure the final design is exactly how we want it. The ‘grass’ is being prepared off site and groundwork will continue during the early part of September. We have every hope that our new Astro will be ready for the children to use by the end of September but progress is weather dependent. I will keep you posted.
