Fielding
Primary School and Nursery
Keep up to date with all the news happening in the school at the moment. Articles are added during the week. Parents are encouraged to check regularly. Our weekly bulletin, emailed directly to parents, summarises content for the week.
The girls football 1st team beat 3 other top schools to become area champions and earned the chance to represent the whole borough in the London Youth Games. It was a fantastic effort from the girls and is a huge achievement which everybody should be extremely proud of.
We are now waiting with huge excitement to hear details about the event which will be held at Crystal Palace next month.
Check out the PE page for the full report and pictures.

If you have any unwanted children's fancy dress costumes or football shirts (any child sizes) we would love you to donate them. We have placed small green wheelie bins by Wyndham Road entrance for you to donate the clothing.
We intend to use the costumes to provide greater opportunities for role play at break times and lunch times in our performance zone. The donated football shirts will be kept for the children who need these for after school clubs.
Thank you in advance for the smiles that you are helping to create.
New playground areas open to children next week. All children will have up to 3 sessions during morning break and lunchtimes to play as a year group in the different spaces.
Children may come home with sand in clothes and their hair as a result of playing in the sand pit. 30 pairs of Wellington boots, in a range of sizes, have been provided for our youngest children (or those with smaller size feet). It is up to children to decide if they should or want to wear Wellies when playing in the sand. We suggest wearing the boots if children are going to play in the sand pit for a prolonged period of time. It is probably not necessary to wear the boots if in the sand for a short-time, on the pirate ship or running through the sand-pit, up and over the mounds. Please talk to your child about whether you expect them to wear the Wellingtons.
All playground areas and equipment are closed to all children, including younger and older siblings, during morning drop-off and afternoon collection.
Dress-up, donate £1 and/or donate a book to class libraries
Some teachers and pupils in the school are looking forward to dressing up as their favourite book character for World Book Day next Thursday. Other children may wish to also bring in £1 to donate to Book Aid, while others may wish to donate a reading book to class reading libraries. The choice is yours.
We will be be celebrating all things books with an afternoon of fun-filled activities including year group book character parades for those who have dressed-up. Older pupils in the school will be visiting younger ones to buddy up for some paired reading and story-telling sessions and pupils will be entering the 'design a national book token competition.'
On the day, your child will receive a world book day token which will enable them to pick up a free world book day book or money off at their local bookseller. We look forward to seeing all the fantastic characters next Thursday!
The school was inspected by Ofsted this week. It will be several weeks before Ofsted release the report for publication to parents. Until the report is released, judgements are provisional and must remain confidential to school leaders and members of the Governing Body only.
The report will be published on our website with a link emailed directly to parents in due course. Please be patient.
Following the annual parent survey and work with Keith Adams, external consultant, we have already made the following changes:
We are now going to also:
Following the annual parent survey and discussion with the Governing Body’s parent communication working group, we are making the following changes:
Since the last survey, a number of changes have been finalised and made to homework arrangements, in consultation with parents. However, parents continued to express a wide range of different views about homework.
Top education researchers tell us that homework has little impact for primary age pupils, unless it requires children to rehearse and practise. Other commentators are increasingly highlighting pressure on children and the need for them to enjoy their childhood, having a break from school work at home. Leading educationalists are also arguing the case for more creativity in the curriculum to better prepare children for the world of work, especially where it is predicted that many of the jobs that our 5 year olds will start are not yet known!
Enlightened schools have already made changes to reduce homework. However, some parents still judge the quality of a school by the amount of homework children receive: the more homework, the better the perception of the school.
Our parents tell us that homework helps them to see how well their children are doing at school. However, we believe that we can find better ways of doing this.
Therefore, we are going to:
The children and staff had great fun during the February half term week.
With an exciting week planned, the children experienced many new activities and days out. The trip to the science Museum was literally a blast; the children were thrilled at watching the 3D motion cinema 'Apollo 11 landing on the moon', they were literally rocking in their seats with the vibrations.
We were amazed how compact Tim Peake’s space capsule was, this prompted many interesting questions as you can imagine!
Later in the week they learnt to play ‘1, 2, 3 where are you?’ a game of hide and seek in the woods. It was fantastic to see the children playing freely in the natural environment, creating dens, setting booby traps and making mud cakes. Back at base camp the campfire was a new experience for many, learning to light a fire using a flint and steel and popping natural corn over an open fire was so much fun.
The next Fielding holiday club will be Monday 3rd – 7th April, look out for the next exciting programme a little nearer the time.
