Please avoid sending children to school in expensive or designer clothing at the moment.
The outdoor areas are very wet and muddy, and despite everyone’s best efforts, clothes are likely to get dirty during playtime.
We want all children to feel comfortable joining in outdoor activities without the worry of damaging special items.
Thank you for your understanding and support! 4 Likes
