• PTFA MEETING - Monday 29th April

  Thu 25 Apr 2019

  The PTFA will be hosting its regular parents meeting on Monday 29th April. We'll discuss upcoming events including the Circus, Summer Picnic and Summer Fair amongst other things.

  Could we ask that at least one Class Rep from each class attend one of these meetings as the next three months will be our busiest and we need all the help we can get!

  The meeting will be repeated twice during the day (once in the morning with Mr Dunmall, and again in the evening) to allow as many parents/carers to participate.

  The morning meeting is in the school house after morning drop off (9.00am) and the evening meeting on the same day, also in the school house at 8.30pm. 

  All parents are welcome to join us at one of these meetings and it would be great to see as many of you as possible.

  The morning meeting is accompanied by tea and coffee. The evening meeting is accompanied by a glass of wine and it would be great for parents to stay for a drink or two after the meeting. It is a great opportunity to meet other parents especially if you are new to the school. We look forward to seeing you there!

  Minutes for the last meeting can be found at: http://www.fieldingprimary.com/ptfa/

• Reception offers, September 2019

  Tue 23 Apr 2019 Peter Dunmall

  Over 500 applications for 120 places

  Fielding received 509 applications for admission to our Reception classes in September 2019.  Of these, 191 applicants chose Fielding as their first preference school.

  As part of the pan London admission arrangements, offers for our 120 Reception class places have been made to parents.

  Nearly half of children offered a place at Fielding already have a brother or sister at the school.  The remaining places were allocated according to distance criteria with the last offer being made to a child living just 0.31 miles from the school, slightly closer compared to last year.  86 offers have been made to children who attend our own Nursery, although admission to Nursery does not result in an automatic offer for Reception.

  Ealing Council, the admissions authority for Fielding, is operating a waiting list system for 87 children who have been offered a school place elsewhere but have placed Fielding as a higher preference school.

  Parents who applied to Fielding this year highlighted:

  • continuity in joining Reception from our Nursery;
  • the success of older brothers and sisters already in school;
  • and for new families to the school, the positive impression that Year 6 pupils had given during our open morning tours and the resources available to a larger school, including specialist French, music and PE teaching.

  Parents must now accept or decline the offer by 30th April.

• Casting call for a family

  Fri 05 Apr 2019
  Producers from Five Mile Films are making a prime time television programme for Channel 4 in partnership with Wood Green Animal Charity. They are looking for people who might be interested in rehoming a rescue dog.

   

  Through a multi-camera rig format (similar to One Born Every Minute and Super Vet), the programme will explore the relationships and interactions between dogs and people.  They will be following the stories of the rescue dogs looking to be rehomed at Wood Green, but also the stories of the potential owners coming in and understand their reasons for wanting a dog at that point in their lives.

   

  If interested, please contact the production company:
