General Routine

P.E Kit – P.E is on a Monday.  Please send a T-shirt and shorts CLEARLY labelled with your child’s name, in a bag into school. We will keep them for a half term and then send them home.

Lunch time – Hot dinners are paid for through SQUID. For more information about school lunches, please visit our school lunch page. If your child is going to have packed lunch, please send in a suitable lunch for your child in a lunch box/bag.

Drink – A water bottle, in addition to lunch time drinks can be brought in and kept in the classroom for the children to access at any time.

Clothing – All clothing needs to be CLEARLY labelled, school uniform is encouraged and clothes that the children can manage themselves. E.g. for toileting, changing etc. For more information about school uniform at Bishopston, please visit our school uniform page.

Book Bags – Please send books bags in on a Tuesday.  They will be sent home on a Firday.

Forest School – Our Forest School session is on a Friday with Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Bresnan.  Please send in labelled waterproofs and wellies.  It is a good idea to keep these in school as we will be using outdoor areas on other days too - not just on a Friday. 

During the first few weeks, our main aim will be to get to know your child and help him/her settle in to life in Reception. Your child’s happiness is paramount to us. We want school to be a pleasurable, exciting experience, a place that your child enjoys coming to, a place where he/she can relax and be him/herself.

As always, if you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to get in contact.  

Thank you for taking the time to read this information. We hope it has been useful.

Mrs Thomas and Mrs Bresnan

Reception staff
