• Supporting Ealing foodbank

  Fri 18 Oct 2019 L Stabler

  Collecting for Ealing Food Bank

  Each year, we ask our children to choose three charities they would like to support. We choose one local, one national and one global charity to support throughout the school year. This year’s local charity we are supporting is Ealing food bank. This charity supports people and families when they are in need. In order to support this worthwhile charity and in line with our school lessons on empathy, we will be having a collection day for Ealing food bank.

  On Thursday 14th November, we ask that children either bring an item off the shopping list below or small monetary contribution (we suggest £1). This will then be collected by the food bank and used to provide food to those who need it.

  Thank you

  Suggested shopping list from the foodbank:

  • Long Life Fruit Juice & Squash
  • Cook-in / Pasta Sauce - jars
  • Dried Milk
  • Peanut Butter & Marmite
  • Ketchup & Mayo – small sizes
  • Potatoes – Tinned & Instant
  • Long Life Sponge Puddings
  • Cereal Bars
  • Vegetarian Chilli & Curry - tins
  • Ready Made Custard - tins
  • Washing-up Liquid

   

• Multi-sport playing surface planning application

  Thu 17 Oct 2019 Peter Dunmall

  Landscape architects have completed the design and applied for planning permission for our multi-sport playing surface this week.  Our plans can be seen:

  • Ealing Council, planning applications (Ref 194164FUL)

  We thought about the school's needs and listened to the views of anyone interested, including neighbours, local residents and parents.  Our plans meet our needs and show how we have listened to different views:

  • an all-weather artificial sports pitch, 43m x35m marked for hockey and football, with a 4-lane 60m running track, taking less than one-third of the grass field and located furthest away from all surrounding residents;
  • 3m high, light gauge mesh fencing to keep balls inside;
  • low-spill lighting for all-year round use for after-school sports clubs with switched on/off time and day controls and 'app'-based switching from any mobile device;
  • new planting, including trees to provide natural shade during summer months and enhanced bio-diversity along the southern boundary giving net bio-diversity gain over the lost grass;
  • community use organised around partnerships with well-established local clubs to minimise anti-social behaviour risk;
  • community use restricted to 9pm weekdays and 6pm at weekends to meet the requirements of Sport England while respecting the wishes of neighbours;
  • a travel plan co-ordinator to ensure that community use is accessed using sustainable transport methods;
  • barrier planting to reduce noise and a professional noise study that has assessed likely noise impact as low.

  A decision is expected by 5th December.

• Sport this week

  Fri 11 Oct 2019 Dan Thomas

  This week in the PE and Sport world at Fielding we have been to the Featherstone High 5 Netball competition and just found out cross country results.

   

  Two teams of Netball players went to Pitshanger Park yesterday for this years tournament and really demonstrated school values in the way they conducted themselves. It was a tough competition but everybody could leave with their heads held high for the effort they put in.

   

  We found out the results for last weeks cross country races today and found they made excellent reading. The girls squad finished in 2nd place in the girls competition which is fantastic. The boys squad amassed the most points in their races to regain the boys trophy that we also won last year. Finally, the icing on the cake was that we also finished in first place overall to be regain that shield as well! Great result and well deserved.

   

  To read the full report on the Netball and look at individual times and placings for cross country, get on to the PE page.

• Parent Governor Election

  Fri 11 Oct 2019

  The Governing Body is seeking nominations from parents to fill a parent governor vacancy.  Parent governors are appointed for a period of 4 years.  

  The Governing Body holds school leaders to account, providing support and challenge whilst setting the strategic direction of the school.  Parent governors attend full governing body meetings which are usually held 4 times a year in the evening and will become a member of at least one committee which meets twice every term, typically alternating breakfast and evening meetings.  Governors also visit the school during the day, ideally once or twice a term, to gain first-hand knowledge of the school.  Find out more about the role of school governors and the skills required:

  • National Governance Association, What do governors do? 
  • Governance skills

  Every governor is not required to have competence in every skill.

  If you wish to be nominated or nominate another parent, please print the Nomination Form  by Monday 28th October, 15.30 and return to the school office box in the main reception. Nominations will not be accepted after this time. Electronic nominations or emails will NOT be accepted. If more nominations are received than vacancies available, then a ballot will be organised to select the new governor. Please check you are eligible to nominate or be nominated as a Parent Governor, Election of Parent Governors.

  All governors are subject to an enhanced check by the Criminal Records Bureau and other suitability checks, including providing an enhanced DBS certificate.

  Each child will receive unlimited squash and one portion of popcorn. Children can bring their own bottles to fill up with squash, or can use a cup provided on the day by paying a deposit of 20p. This is refundable once the cup is handed back at the end of the event. Parents do not need to purchase a ticket but will be asked to pay for any popcorn, drinks or snacks. All children must be accompanied - and supervised during the movie - by an adult. It is not a drop off event. The PTFA cannot take responsibility for your child.
