What does my child need for school?

Your child does not require lots of equipment for school- they need their full school uniform and F2 children require a PE kit in a bag. All children need to bring a water bottle to school (filled with water or flavoured still water), they are able to keep a pair of wellington boots on their pegs for rainy days if they would like to. Children also require a book bag so we can send home books regularly and children can bring home their artwork and creations each day. 

What access is there to school grounds each day?

Our doors are open from 8:35am to 8:50am. F1 15 hour children will finish and leave school at 11:45am. Our doors will open at the end of the day from 3:20pm to 3:30pm (this is for Foundation children only, no other year groups).Children will be given to a known adult one by one, if someone different from normal is collecting your child please let the office or an EYFS team member know.

Apart from the start and end of school the back gate has to be locked for security reasons. Access to school at all other times has to be through the main gate and main school entrance on Wynndale Drive.

What should I do I my child is absent?

If your child is poorly and unable to come to school, could you please ring the school office on 01623 479001 as soon as possible to let them know the reason for the absence.

How will I know what my child is doing at school?

Each class has a teams page, you will all have access to this page which is updated must days- letting you know what we have been up to in class and lots of lovely photos of us in action. Also, each half term we send out our topic information letter to let you know what we will be covering each half term so please look out for this.

What does a day look like in Foundation Stage at Wynndale primary School?

At Wynndale Primary School, we provide the children with the highest level of learning opportunities which are carefully planned for. Through play, the children participate in a variety of learning activities, which are both inside and outside, that cover the 7 areas of learning as stated in the Early Years Curriculum.

The children engage in whole class and small group focussed inputs and then have the opportunity to explore the learning through their child-initiated play and adult led tasks.

 We have a generous sized outdoor learning space which is for both F1 and F2 as we work as a unit. This allows friendships to be formed and built with a larger group of children.

We are a happy unit where children feel safe, happy and secure to learn and grow.
