Memorial Garden
On Sunday 12th May we are invited to lay poppies at the RAF Snaith Memorial Garden based in Pollington. I always consider this to be a community event we are honoured to take part in, as we commemorate those who flew from RAF Snaith during WW2. We will meet at the memorial garden at 11.30 for the event at 11.45am. This is a short event and would usually be concluded by 12.30. If you have a child who would like to take part please let the school know by Tuesday 7th May. If you would like details of the whole event, please see the poster at the end of this newsletter. Thank you
We are also happy to share that the new WWll museum will be open at Pollington. Lots of local volunteers have helped to create this and it is definitely well worth a visit.

Uniform – PE
We are always proud of the high standards you help us to uphold when it comes to the children’s uniform and appearance. Recently, I have noticed that some ‘non uniform’ items of clothing and footwear have been creeping in, especially on PE days. Please could I remind you of our uniform standards – see below, and thank you in advance for helping us to uphold this.
Uniform
- Burgundy sweatshirt or cardigan - we strongly encourage this to be with school logo.
- Black or grey trousers/skirt/shorts
- Pale blue polo shirt (logo optional)
- White, grey or black socks or tights
- School shoes (NO trainers)
- Optional: blue and white checked summer dresses
- Reversible Fleece jacket with logo (optional)
P.E.
- Red P.E shorts (no other colours)
- White T-shirt – (with or without red school name)
- Black joggers (no logos/branding) - for colder days
- Plimsolls/trainers (preferably black)
Children come to school wearing their PE clothes on their specific PE day.
Ensuring our behaviour is outstanding means having consistently high expectations of good manners, respect and "whole schoolness". We would be grateful if you would read on to check the following.
- Long hair should always be tied back. Elastic bands may be handed out in school if not.
- Hair should not be shaved, spiked in the middle, or have tramlines.
- Headbands should be small and in school colours (no big floral decorations please).
- Hair should be of a natural colour and all styles to be conservative.
- School shoes should be black. Trainers should only be worn for P.E. lessons.
- Please check all uniform is named. in the summer term when children regularly take off jumpers and cardigans!
- Children are allowed to wear only stud earrings, which are to be removed or covered with tape during P.E. lessons, and a watch. Other forms of jewellery are not part of our school uniform and can pose a risk in some circumstances.

We have worked hard to ensure that our uniform is at an affordable price, reducing request for logos eg on white T-shirt, and making sure that our uniform is widely available from a range of outlets, including our own PTA sustainable uniform shop. We very much value you respecting our policy on uniform expectations.

Please can I remind parents that school is not able to authorise any holidays during term time. Therefore, it is important to consult these dates before making any booking.
We are committed to improving achievement through attendance, and any pupil whose attendance falls below 96% becomes a cause for concern. Attendance below 90% is classed by the Government as persistent absence. If a child’s attendance falls below 90% we refer all cases to the Education Welfare Office at East Riding, who is likely to contact parents directly to discuss the matter.
