We have PE on Tuesday and Wednesday
Your child must wear their PE kit to school on this day, as they are unable to change in class or the changing rooms.
They are able to wear joggers, leggings or tights under their shorts on PE days, just in case the weather is not good. If they wear their jumper as usual they will be warm enough.
Welcome back to school everyone - it's great to see you!
