New Year's resolutions?

The frustration of lost property at Fielding for parents, children and staff has been reduced this term as a result of new arrangements in school.  However too many items of uniform continue not to be named.

Improvements in school routines to reduce the amount of lost property include:

• pupils coming to school already changed for PE, minimising a change of clothes at school;
• class teachers 'sweeping' classrooms, corridors and cloakroom spaces at least once a week, reuniting as many discarded items;
• pupils and staff reuniting named items with their owner;
• pilot introduction of lockers for Year 6 pupils.

Let's work together from January to further reduce lost property by:

• parents and school staff helping our children to be even more responsible, remembering to take everything home that is brought into school every day;
• school replacing more cloakroom peg areas with individual lockers initially for Years 5, 4 and 3;
• parents naming all clothing so that missing items are returned to their owner.

A range of options are available to help parents label uniform with their child's name.  Please help us to further reduce lost property by naming school uniform ready for the New Year.  The following links may be of interest to parents:
