Useful Information

Security: It is very important that your children are safe in school. You are welcome to visit the school at most times. However, when visiting please come to the main entrance and collect a visitor's badge. We would appreciate an advanced telephone call if you wish to see somebody specifically. Every Friday at 1.30 pm we have our show assembly. You are very welcome to attend.

Transport: Any issues with taxis please inform transport: 01473 584669

Food: Lunch is 12.15 pm to 1.15 pm. School lunches are £1.70. It would be appreciated if you could pay at the start of each week, cheques made payable to Suffolk County Council. Packed lunch is optional. Could you notify your child's pastoral teacher if you prefer this option.

Absence: If your child is away please ring the school to let us know. On return please write reason for absence in the home school diary. If you are going on holiday during the school year, please notify the office and complete a holiday form.

Medical: If your child is poorly, please do not send them into school. We have many youngsters who are vulnerable to infection. If in doubt, please ring the school nurse.

Accidents: If your child unfortunately has an accident in school, we will endeavour to notify you immediately on your emergency telephone number.

Home School Diary: Regular contact between school and home is through the home school diary. Please use it freely. We appreciate your acknowledgement that you have read the comments.

Reports: You will receive an Annual Report on each child each year to coincide with their statutory Annual Review. We also have two open evenings and one open day during the year. See here for the dates.

Review: Annually your child has a review. You have a statutory obligation to attend. We will give you at least three months advanced notification of the date and time. Please let us know at the earliest opportunity if the time is inconvenient.

News: Each half term a news and information sheet will be sent home, highlighting events of the term.

Outings: When a class is going out of school for a day trip, you will be sent a letter and asked for your consent. We appreciate a prompt response as we cannot take your child without permission. Reading: All pupils are encouraged to read every day at TW. Each child has a Reading Record Diary which will be filled in by pastoral teachers and sent home. Please make your entries in the diary for reading taking place at home.

Timetable: You will receive a copy of your youngster's timetable. If you have any questions, please contact the Deputy Head Teacher.

Sports & Swimming: Physical Education and Swimming take place each week. Please can you ensure that your child for PE has: a change of shirt, shorts/tracksuit bottoms and training shoes (if appropriate) and, for swimming, a costume and towel. Please label clothing.
