• MindUP Workshop for Parents: Supporting Health and Wellbeing

  Fri 31 Jan 2020

  Following the success of the Mental Health Awareness Workshop for parents in November, we will be running a MindUP workshop for parents and carers on Thursday 6th February from 9-10am. The session will be run by Faye Allen, the school’s MindUP Lead, and will be held in the main hall. MindUP has played an important role for several years at Fielding in developing children’s self-awareness, self-regulation and optimism through teaching children about neuroscience and mindful practices. In the session, we will focus on the brain science behind our emotions and behaviours. We will also look at the benefits of MindUP and a range of strategies you can use at home to help support your child’s health and wellbeing at home. All parents/carers are welcome to come to the workshop.

• Small fire in kitchen during cookery lesson

  Wed 29 Jan 2020 Peter Dunmall

  A pan fire during Class 3P's (Miss Augustine) cookery lesson was put out quickly by school staff.

  Pupils were in the middle of their lesson when cooking oil in a pan on the hob caught light. Miss Augustine used a fire blanket to contain the fire. All pupils in the School House evacuated safely. The main school was unaffected.

  London Fire Brigade attended promptly but the fire had already been completely put out by site staff using fire extinguishers.

  London Ambulance Service checked Miss Augustine, Ciaran and Piotr. Ciaran and Piotr visited hospital and were treated for minor smoke inhalation. 

  Firefighters spoke to pupils afterwards, answering questions and thanking them for being so calm and safely evacuating the kitchen.

  Cooking lessons for all classes are postponed while we clean and repair the School House kitchen.   

• How do you travel to school?

  Tue 28 Jan 2020 Peter Dunmall

  A hands-up travel survey of pupils in class shows that most pupils travel to school by walking, cycling, scootering or skateboarding. More pupils get to school by bike, scooter or skateboard than by car:

  • Walk to school, 63%
  • Public transport and walk, 3%
  • Scooter, cycle or skateboard, 21%
  • Car, 13%

  Thanks to most families for travelling to school in a healthy and sustainable way.

  Pupils tell us that around 120 of them usually travel to school by car. Reasons vary from living too far away, being dropped off by parents on the way to work, to dad 'loving driving his new car'. Some pupils live less than half-a-mile away from school but travel by car because they say it is 'too far': 

  • If you drive to school, could you walk?
  • Could you park in surrounding roads and walk the last part of your journey?
  • Do you park safely? Zig-zag lines are now monitored every day by CCTV at drop-off and collection time. Ealing Council's parking team are committed to the safety of children outside of schools and will take enforcement action.
  • Penalty Charge Notices will be issued by Ealing Council based on CCTV footage to drivers who park on zig-zag lines. Enforcement Officers no longer need to be present.
