Plantation Primary is a nut-free school so please ensure that snacks and items in lunch boxes do not contain nuts.

Plantation Planners

Please ensure your child brings their planner to and from school every day. They will need it to record reading and to access usernames and passwords for educational websites.

An adult in our team will check planners to see if your child has recorded at least four reading entries throughout the week and for a parent/carer signature.

If you write a message in your child's planner, please remind them to show it to one of the team of adults.
