Also on here you will have access to the Parent handbook and other documents regarding the schools details for you and contact details and data base for contacts at school.

This is where you will book after school activities. Booking opens the Friday before each new term usually 6pm for KS1 and 6:30pm for KS2. You can link your calendar with your child(rens) activities so you can keep up to date with if clubs are cancelled or location changes etc.
DIGEST
Every Wednesday, the school releases an email that contains that weeks information. The school will send you one email that has sections in it relevant to your child(ren). This comes out at 6pm and is so important for knowing what is happening. A copy of this can be found in your 'Inbox' section on the Portal. a general update from the PA and Head maste.

This can be accessed through the Portal. It is where teachers post information and updates from the classroom.

ERIC - EVERYONE READS IN CLASS
NEARLY NEW SALE
ERIC stands for 'Everyone Reads In Class'. This is a wonderful session they do with every class throughout the junior school every single day. The children of all classes have at least half an hour of reading time. As they get bigger and more independent in their reading, they are able to read their own library chosen books, for the younger ones they have fun books to look at and read together.
If you need Nearly New uniform, we hold a number of Nearly New Sales which are advertised on our website/Digest emails.
We rely on donations to keep the Nearly New shop open so any uniform that is too small or no longer needed is much appreciated. Please message us sjs.pa.chair@gmail.com.
