• Syria & Turkey Fundraiser

  Mon 13 Feb 2023

  I am sure you will not have failed to notice the devasting news following the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. As a school community our thoughts, love and prayers go out to all of the families that have been affected by the tragedy.

   

  Some of the children have asked whether we can do something to raise some money to send to the Disaster Emergency Committee, who are raising money in the UK to send to charities working in the area. We think this is a fantastic idea and so on Thursday 16^th February the children can come to school in their own clothes and bring in a £1 donation which we will collect and send to the DEC.

   

  Once again, our wonderful community will come together to help those in need.

• Uniform Reminder

  Tue 07 Feb 2023

  Is your child wearing the correct school uniform?

   

  Dear Parents,

  We are writing to remind everyone about our school uniform and the importance of wearing uniform in school. A school uniform provides children with a sense of belonging. We are proud of our uniform at Cape and we would like to remind parents that we expect the correct uniform to be worn every day in school. The P.E kit is the uniform for P.E lessons and must only be worn on PE days along with the school jumper.

   

  We have noticed that some children are starting to ‘bend the rules’ a little when it comes to wearing the correct clothes. When a child moves to secondary school then the uniform children have to have is much more formal. We must establish good routines now, in primary school, so that children understand expectations as they move through life.

   

  It is so much easier to wear school uniform that to bow to pressures of the latest trainers or designer labels. Insisting uniform is worn helps children to instill a sense of pride, no matter how young they are.

   

  Our school uniform consists of:

  • A purple jumper or cardigan, jumpers with logos are available from the school web shop but are not mandatory.
  • Grey or black trousers or shorts, skirt or dress.
  • A lilac summer dress can be worn.
  • White shirt or T-shirt.
  • School tie – optional.
  • P.E kit - House colour T-shirt, EYFS a white T-shirt, leggings/jogging bottoms or shorts.
  • Some children may choose to wear a head scarf for religious reasons this should be black or purple in colour.
  • Earrings should only be studs and removed for P.E/Swimming.
  • Black shoes or trainers – please avoid branded trainers.

  You can purchase our uniform:

  By accessing the web shop from the home page of our website. Once the order is placed then the school office will give the item to your child to bring home.

  www.capeprimary.com scroll to the bottom and you should find this icon                           Please click onto it and place your order.

  Most high street supermarkets will stock the purple school jumper, school trousers/shorts/dresses/skirts.

  We know some families may struggle with the cost of uniform which is why we have introduced a second-hand uniform shop in school. Please speak to the school office about purchasing second hand uniform.

• Learning Together Day

  Tue 07 Feb 2023

  We are fast approaching half way through the academic year! Next week we have our second ‘Learning Together Day’ of the year on Friday 17^th February. This is your opportunity to come and meet your child’s teacher and discuss the progress your child has made so far this year, their strengths and any areas for further development.

   

  To remind parents who have not been to a Learning Together Day before, school is closed for children’s lessons for the day but parents/carers are expected to attend an appointment time with their child to talk to the class teacher about learning and progress.

   

  We will also be on hand to make sure that you have signed up for Marvellous Me and to also help ensure you know how to get onto all of the online learning platforms that your child has access to. It is vital you attend your child’s appointment so we can work together to achieve the best for each child at our school.
