Reducing Waste

The children have been learning about the importance of reducing waste at school this year, with the North London Waste Authority. Here are some things you can do at home to help.

Driving and Parking

Even through nearby roads such as Greenham Road and Wilton Road are not school streets, please ensure you are driving and parking safely, and being considerate of the residents. Where possible, please walk the entire journey to school so you won’t need to park.

Nursery

After collecting your child from Nursery, please leave the school site. Do not stay and allow your children to play in the main playground. This is for health and safety and safeguarding reasons.

If you have an older child to collect, please wait outside the gate until they open at 3.15.

Year 6

Dates for the Year 6 shows!

• Wren Show Monday 13th July

• Toucan show Tuesday 14th July

• Woodpecker show Wednesday 15th July

Leavers’ Ball Friday 10th July 6-8pm

Ongoing Reminders

Coldfall Avenue School Gate – Opening Hours

The Coldfall Avenue gate is locked between 9.05 am and 3.15 pm. Please use the Everington Road entrance during these times. There are no exceptions except for blue badge holders. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of all children.

Administering Medication

We are bound by the Local Authority regulations, which seek to exclude any drugs from school premises unless absolutely necessary. This means that any antibiotics taken three times a day should be administered before school, at the end of the school day and at bedtime. Should a child have to take antibiotics four times a day or have other medication during the school day as specifically instructed by the GP, we are happy to administer this medicine. However, before we do so, parents must provide consent and complete the Administering Medicine form. Medication should be provided in the original packaging, with the child’s name, giving clear administering instructions.

Mobile Phones

Parents, please be reminded NO mobile phone use on the school premises at all before and after school. We want you to set the best example for our children – be present for them at these important times. If parents are on their phones at drop off/pick up time, a member or staff may politely request that they put it away until they have left the playground.

Breakfast Club

We strongly recommend that you walk your children to the door of breakfast club in the mornings rather than leaving them at the school gates (this applies to older children as well). The site is not supervised early in the morning. Please also be reminded that you will not be able to come in for Breakfast club until 8.00am.

Bringing in items late to school

If there is an item that you or your child has forgotten (such as water bottles, clothing, bags, books, musical instruments, lunch or snacks, etc.) can these please be brought to the office NO LATER than 9.30am. Taking items to classrooms during school hours disturbs teaching and learning, as well as the office.
