School UniformOur school colours are royal blue and grey and we prefer children to wear these colours. The school uniform can be purchased through the school office and incorporates the ‘windmill logo’ on the sweatshirts and poloshirts. We would ask that all children are dressed in a practical manner as they tend to get upset if they get dirty and think that they will get in trouble! Please remember that at playtimes they do run around and serious accidents can happen with shoes with heels or slippery soles. All children also need suitable clothing for PE such as tee-shirt, shorts and pumps, all marked in a suitably labelled bag please. We have school sweatshirts, poloshirts, book bags, and PE bags, with school logo, all available from the school office. We strongly recommend that all clothing, footwear and bags be labelled including any other personal items your child may bring into school for a lesson. Please ensure that children do not wear jewellery to school; jewellery can be dangerous. Mobile phones are not to be brought into school. School HoursThe school gate opens at 8.45 every morning so children can come onto the playground. Please ensure that children do not arrive before this time. School starts at 8.55 and finishes at 15.15. Read more about a Typical School Day. School MealsChildren may enjoy a nutritious hot meal at lunchtime for £8.00 per week. Please pay on Mondays.

How your children will be looked after in schoolThe atmosphere in school is one of caring. The children are encouraged to be thoughtful towards each other, toward caring adults and towards the school environment. We have dinner supervisors who are responsible for the children at lunchtime. Playtime and outdoor play are always supervised. The Headteacher is willing to administer medicines as long as they are given to her personally and are clearly labelled. We ask you to complete a ‘medicines form’ before you leave the medication in school. We do not administer non-prescription medicine. The Governing Body has adopted a complaints procedure. If you have any complaints or concerns please contact the Headteacher.
School RulesThere are a few school rules. The ones which exist are there for safety purposes. We have a behaviour anti-bullying policy in school which explains standards we expect and sanctions that may be imposed. Discipline in schoolDiscipline is consistent so that the children know what is expected of them. We place a great emphasis on manners and acting in a caring manner towards the other children and adults in school. We have in school a behaviour policy, which incorporates both school ‘rules’ and expected standards of behaviour, as well as anti-bullying. Certificates are awarded for good behaviour, attitude and hard work. We also operate a ‘Golden Pupil’ scheme in each class to reward those children who display consistent good behaviour. Stickers and prizes are awarded for excellent, good and improved attendance. Children who have a high level of attendance are able to access the curriculum and make due progress. Cyber-bullyingCyber-bullying is treated with the same seriousness as any other form of bullying. As part of Anti-bullying Week in 2009, some useful information has been made available for parents and children by the Warwickshire Anti-bullying Partnership. Support ServicesIf it is necessary support services such as speech therapy, reading advisory services, the educational psychologist, as well as dental, vision and hearing inspections are available.
