Starting Arrangements

At Worle Village Primary School we aim to ensure our new arrivals settle happily and quickly into school life. At first your child will attend on a part-time basis. We appreciate this may initially be awkward for you to organise but we strongly believe that this gives all children the best way of gradually adapting to this new setting and its new routines and has proven very successful at ensuring a smooth transition into school.

Please see the timetable below for all children:

* Full-time attendance is dependent on both the Head of School and class teacher’s assessment of a child’s happy and successful settling into school and their ability to cope with full-time education.

On arrival at the school with your child, line up in the playground. Please use the dedicated reception class entrance gate on Hill Road for pick-ups.

Uniform

All children are expected to come to school in school uniform. This should include white polo/shirt, school badged royal blue cardigan or jumper, grey/black skirt, shorts, trousers, blue gingham summer dress, black sturdy school shoes and a school badged book bag.

For PE lessons children should wear school badged yellow t-shirt or plain white t-shirt, school blue shorts or navy/black shorts/leggings/joggers, school badged hoodie, black daps or trainers and a badged PE kit bag.

Badged school uniform should be purchased from NK Uniform using the link below or by visiting their shop on Station Road off Worle High Street.

Aspens

School meals are provided by our catering company Aspens and we use an online ordering system to place school meals. Parents/carers are responsible for ordering their child’s school meals. Children are encouraged to have a school meal using their universal free school meal or free school meal entitlements but can also have a packed lunch from home if preferred. The ordering system allows parents/carers to see the menu and order each day according to the menu or instead send their child with a packed lunch. Aspens are due to change to a new booking platform in the next month, so login details will be provided once your child starts school.

Communication

We use a number of platforms to communicate with parents/carers in the fastest and most efficient way, on top of other daily forms of communication:

SchoolPing

This is an online platform, with a dedicated app, which we use to send messages, letters and forms and for the booking of parents evenings. The best way to use SchoolPing is to download the app. Login details will be provided once your child starts school.

School Gateway

This is an online platform, with a dedicated app, which we use to take payments and bookings for school trips, events and clubs such as Breakfast and Wraparound Care. The best way to use School Gateway is to download the app. Login details will be provided once your child starts school.

Facebook

The school has its own dedicated Facebook page for sharing news, updates and notices. You can follow us @Worle Village Primary School.
