Information for Parents

School Uniforms

At Wyvern we fully support school uniform and believe that it definitely contributes to team spirit, a positive attitude and gives the children a sense of pride. Our uniform is inexpensive and easy to obtain from the following suppliers:

The children will need:

  • Burgundy branded sweatshirt or cardigan
  • Grey/black trousers, skirt, shorts or pinafore dress
  • Grey/black/white socks or tights
  • Black shoes
  • Red summer dress (ideally burgundy) is optional
  • White polo shirts
  • PE kit including: a branded PE top, black shorts, trainers and a black tracksuit for if the weather is cold and the children are outside.
  • Book bag (burgundy)

 

Extra Curricular Activities

​​Wyvern runs a variety of clubs throughout the week during lunchtimes.

A list of available clubs is sent out at the start of each term. While we cannot guarantee that a child will get into a club we try to accommodate as many children as possible.

Please note that extra curricular clubs must be booked via Parentmail Forms.

PE Days

Your child should come into school in PE kit on their PE day so they won’t need to change at school while we are in class bubbles.

Year Group          PE Day

FS1 (Nursery)       –  Monday (no kit needed)

FS2 (Reception)  –  Wednesday

Year 1                     –   Tuesday

Year 2                    –   Thursday

Homework

While there will be slight differences between year groups and classes, you can expect your child to receive weekly spellings to learn.

We also ask that children read a small amount on a daily basis.  They will all have an appropriate reading booked given to them by the school and are able to take out additional reading books through the library.  Please could you encourage them to record their reading in their personal logs.

We would like to encourage you to regularly practise times tables with your child at home.

Occasionally your child may be set some additional topic work or wider research/reading around a topic.

The expectations for homework for your child will be included in their curriculum newsletter, issued in the first week of each half term.  This will include when homework is set and collected in.

2024-2025 TERM DATES

Emergency Closure Procedure

Unfortunately, in very extreme circumstances we will deem it necessary to close the school.

As soon as a decision has been made to close the school, for example due to adverse weather conditions, a Parentmail text/email will be sent out to all parents and carers.

Curriculum Newsletters

Each term your child’s year group will send out a Curriculum Newsletter. This will give you an overview of the topics and skills being studied in each subject along with relevant year group information such as upcoming trips or events.
