P.E.
Our P.E. days are Wednesdays and Fridays. Please remember to come to school in P.E. kit.

No jewellery is to be worn; if pupils have pierced ears they must come to school with earrings removed or are able to independently remove earrings and keep then in a safe container for the duration of the lesson. 

Maple also has cricket sessions Tuesday AM for Spring Term 2.

The appropriate P.E. kit must be worn in order for pupils to be able to take-part in P.E. activities in regards to our P.E. risk assessment.

Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check 

The multiplication tables check (MTC) is a statutory for all year 4 pupils in England*. 

The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently. The results can support the school in identifying where additional support can be put in place.

This year the MTC will be administered between Monday 5th June and Friday 16th June 2023. 

Here are some helpful links for parents to support their child in preparation for the test:
