Weekly General Reminders

Weekly General Reminders @ 15/06/2025

In order to reduce the amount of text messages/emails sent during the week, we are aiming to provide a short summary of general reminders each week.

Ball Games at Break Times

Equipment will be provided for KS1 children from school.  At KS2 children are allowed tennis balls from home but must label them with their name or initial.  Children can play with a tennis ball a throwing and catching game but not a football game of any description.  Football is only allowed in a supervised area on the day allocated if school staff are available.

Sports Day

A reminder that Sports Day is next Friday 20th June (see letters previously emailed/on website).  Parents will be able to watch from the middle of the field (bring own chairs/blankets).  Please ensure children are wearing appropriate PE kit (thigh length shorts) with a coloured/white t-shirt as appropriate.  Hair must be tied back and jewellery removed.

Uniform/PE Kit Expectations

Please can we remind parents about the expectations for appropriate uniform and PE kit – see website for details https://www.penistonestjohns.co.uk/page/school-uniform/128463. Please note that jewellery must be removed for PE lessons and staff are not able to do this.  We will be introducing a ‘spares box’ and children not wearing correct uniform/PE kit will have to change into clothes that don’t belong to them.
