Whole school assemblies, led by Mrs Sanderson take place on Mondays and Fridays in the hall. This does not include Foundation Stage in the Autumn Term.

Uniform

It is hoped that all parents will make a real effort to clothe their children in the uniform, as it is felt that this will help very much in the rapid establishment among the children of a sense of pride in and of belonging to the school. The uniform list is given below. A smart appearance at all times is to be attempted by all children.

Uniform items may be purchased from the school office (tartan items, bags, hats, bottles) or “Forget-me-Not” (sweatshirts, cardigans, t-shirts) on Wendron Street, Helston. Also, any of the uniform (apart from the tartan) can be purchase from any of the major supermarkets.

Hair:
We recommend that hair is tied back all the time. School coloured hairbands should be worn. No ‘extravagant’ hair pieces are to be worn as these may distract from our learning.

Jewellery:
If earrings need to be worn, please only wear small studs. A watch is permitted, however this cannot be a ‘smart’ watch. No other jewellery should be worn to school.

Please note that it is essential that all items of clothing and property are clearly labelled.
