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.
Our working plan is that school will open fully to all pupils in September because we have not been told otherwise by the government. We continue to wait to hear the government's plans for primary schools.
Please see classes and teachers for the next school year, below. As last year, each class will keep the same letter name, for example, Class 1P becomes 2P, 2P becomes 3P, 4P becomes 5P and so on. Pupils stay in the same class group as they move through the school, building firm friendships.
We welcome 3 new teachers to our team:

Allocation of classes to teachers is final. A wide range of school leaders consider lots of different factors before matching a class to their teacher. We take corporate decisions as a team.
Thank you to all those key workers who have reserved thier child's place on our online booking form. For those of you who haven't yet done this ,you have until Friday 26th at 11am to complete the online form via the link sent to you.
During week beginning 29th June we will be organising those children with a reserved space into bubbles of 15 children for Years R -6 and bubbles of 8 for Nursery. Once this is completed, your allocated bubble will appear on MCAS for you to confirm your slot and make payment, we anticipate this will be ready by 3rd July. Childcare vouchers can be used for this, as can any credit balance you currently have for childcare.
You will have until 9th July to complete this process.
Once key worker parents have booked their slots we will release all other slots on MCAS for booking. You will be asked to book to one bubble. You will be able to check availability in all bubbles before you book. We anticipate booking to open from the 10th July.
In preparation for booking please watch this short guidance video on how to book on MCAS.
We will continue to update you via Latest News, Twitter and Facebook.
Please read our initial article on this for more details:
'Move-up' morning is cancelled this year as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Teachers want to welcome their pupils. Instead:
Videos will be published on our YouTube channel from 3rd July. Links from Year Group Noticeboards.
We have changed our arrangements because we must continue to minimise the risk of infection in our school. The health and safety of our staff and pupils remains our highest priority. This means:
Plans to re-open childcare and specialist clubs are being worked on. Specialist clubs will return where government guidelines can be maintained to keep children and adults as safe as possible. Some clubs may not be able to return immediately. We are talking to our providers and will re-open when the time is right for everyone:
The childcare team remains the same professional, dedicated team, ready to provide the very best care for your child. We have all enjoyed hearing the school coming back to life, welcoming some pupils back to school.
Once the government shares plans for how schools reopen in September this will inform the level of childcare service we are able to offer.
Please check that you can log in to Bromcom’s MyChildatSchool (MCAS) using a desktop computer or the MCAS app.
While we welcome the warm sunny weather it is important to keep children safe in the sun, please help us to do this by making sure:

Fielding has a full team of permanent teaching staff ready for the start of the new school year.
Congratulations to Mrs Bumby and Miss Tsoukala who have been promoted to become Year Team Leaders.
At the end of this term, Mrs Ghoul leaves to work closer to home; Miss Jhurree leaves for a better work/life balance to meet her own personal circumstances. Both have made a significant contribution to our school and will be missed by colleagues, pupils and parents alike.
Congratulations to Miss Allen who is pregnant. She will start her maternity leave in October and is likely to be away from school for most of the year.
Mrs Robinson becomes full-time having worked part-time with us. We welcome Hannah Apperley, an experienced teacher to the part-time vacancy. Mrs Apperley will job-share a class with Mrs Hopkins.
Christopher Perez-Diaz joins us to start his teaching career. Mr Perez-Diaz has previously worked in the commercial sector before deciding to teach.
Megan Thomas will cover Miss Allen's maternity leave. Miss Allen and Miss Thomas will start the school year, teaching together in the same class.
We are planning for a full return to school for all pupils from September because we have not been told otherwise by the government. Sirius and Canopus class group 'bubbles' will then return to the full class.
Pupils' classes, teachers and year group teams will be published closer to the end of this school year.
Your child’s Annual Report is available to view on My Child at School (MCAS). It can be viewed in the App or the desktop version of MCAS. The report will appear in the ‘reports’ section of MCAS below any other reports your child might already have.
Your child’s report has been written by the class teacher they had for the Autumn and Spring terms. Teachers have reported on the first two terms of this year only. Attendance has been reported up to the 20th March 2020 (attendance is not reported for Nursery aged pupils).
Please read our assessment update to find our how your child's teacher has measured attainment and progress.
Please note, due to the change in our class structure, for children in Reception, Year 1, Year 6 and those registered for key worker care, your child's new class teacher and class will appear on the report. Children in Years 2, 3, 4 and 5, if your child's class teacher has been redeployed to another class, your child's class teachers name will not appear on their report.
Please see the latest assessment update for more information and FAQs.
Gavin Williamson, Secretary of State for Education, announced that the government is not able to welcome all primary children back to school for a full month before the summer, as intended. We were one of the first schools in Ealing to re-open to pupils in Reception, Year 6 and Year 1 because we anticipated opening to all. We are disappointed to hear this announcement.
The government has asked schools that have the capacity to bring back more children—in smaller class sizes—to do so if they are able to before the summer holidays:
We are not able to welcome back any more pupils because:
We are looking after over 90 children of key-workers and those who are vulnerable each day. We are one of the largest providers of care for key-workers in Ealing. The government and local authority have told schools to prioritise this care. Numbers have increased each day and we are now very close to our maximum capacity.
The government and local authority have told schools to re-open to pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6. Schools are expected to provide full-time education for these pupils. Scientific evidence shows that part-time provision is believed to increase risks of transmitting the coronavirus infection:
Safety of our pupils and staff is our highest priority. Our parents of pupils in Nursery, Year 2, 3, 4 & 5 have many different views. We had alternative plans too. We thought about offering all pupils blended, part-time learning in school with learning at home, based on our constellations or house / teams. As a local authority maintained school, we are not prepared to deviate from government and local authority expectations when scientific evidence does not support this.
Teachers who must work from home continue to provide support to pupils in Years 2, 3, 4 & 5. Several are supporting more than one class. Parents have mixed views about the school's approach. We are doing as much as we can.
We cannot change or increase the pupils who attend school or our learning at home offer unless the government changes its expectations for primary schools.
We need to know the government’s strategic plans for September for schools. We are currently planning to re-open as normal in September because we have not been told otherwise. Behind the scenes we are beginning to develop use of Microsoft Teams so that we are better placed if pupils do not return to school in September or if learning is disrupted during the Autumn Term.
