Highest ever Reception applications for September 2022
Fri 22 Apr 2022A record 597 pupils applied to start school at our Reception from September 2022. Of these, 202 parents chose Fielding as their first preference school. Ealing Council made offers of schools places to parents earlier this week.
This means that the school is over-subscribed again this year. The Council makes offers of places following their criteria so that places are allocated fairly. Siblings in school and distance from home to school are key factors. This year:
- 61 siblings have been offered a place, higher than previous years,
- the distance from home to school of the last offer has fallen to 0.282 miles.
Our class sizes in Reception, year 1 and year 2 remain fixed at 30 pupils per class as a result of infant class size legislation.
87 pupils in our own Nursery have received an offer of a place in Reception. Nursery admissions and Reception admissions are separate. However, we especially welcome children from our own Nursery into Reception.
2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 2022/23 Applications 521 566 569 597 1st preference choice 191 196 169 202 Siblings 50 58 43 61 Distance of last offer (miles) NK 0.318 0.439 0.282 Fielding Nursery 81 83 81 87 Birth rates in Ealing are falling. There is a surplus of primary school places across the borough. The increase in siblings and shortening of the last offer distance are something of a surprise!
Parents must now accept or reject their offer of a primary school place.

PTFA: Summer Term Meeting on 25 April (Summer Fair & Picnic Plans)
Thu 21 Apr 2022The Summer Term is always busy for the PTFA with lots of events to enjoy outside. Do you want to hear about the PTFA plans for the next few months? This includes plans for the Summer Picnic and Summer Fair. We'll need ideas, thoughts and concerns. You will also hear about progress on a Secondhand Uniform Shop/Bike Repair Scheme, Circus and how we are doing against our £35,000 fundraising target.
Class Reps should attend one of the virtual meetings please as this is crucial to gain support across the school. They take place on Monday 25 April. The two meetings will be held at 10am (with Mr Dunmall attending) and 8.30pm via online Zoom. Register for the morning meeting here (https://bit.ly/3JZgwKD) or the evening meeting here (https://bit.ly/38aYhob) -
PTFA: Uniform & Bike Shed Crowdfunder raises £6,000
Thu 21 Apr 2022In March the PTFA launched a crowdfunding platform to raise funds to build a Secondhand Uniform Shop and Bike Repair Shed. The PTFA had six weeks to hit the £3,000 target which closed at Easter. We are thankful for those parents that contributed towards the funds as this unlocked access to other grants and pots of money elsewhere. We managed to attract £1,500 from British Cycling early on, then £1,500 from the William Hobbayne Charity (based in Hanwell) and finally the London Poverty Fund also donated £1,500. The £6,000 total will allow the PTFA to not only build the new structures to open the secondhand uniform and bike repair shop on a monthly basis, but also the opportunity to train up interested parties with bike repair skills via a City & Guilds programme.
Work will now begin on getting this new venture up and running. We cannot run this initiative without volunteers, so if you would like to volunteer in running the Secondhand Uniform shop then please email FieldingPTFA@gmail.com

Teams logins are changing
Thu 21 Apr 2022Over the Easter break we have had a complete IT update. This included new hardware for all classrooms, both computer suites and an integration of our current systems with Microsoft 365. This means to log into Teams your child's username/email will change. All that needs to be done is to remove the 'o365' part of the email address.
For example, if your child's Teams log in is currently:
- name.307@o365.fieldingprimary.com
it will now be:
- name.307@fieldingprimary.com
Class teachers will give children their username and passwords incase they have forgotten or mislaid them.
It would be really helpful if you could support your child to practice logging in and out at home, on office.com. This will help them to get started more quickly in their computing lessons. Any issues with passwords, send an email into admin@fielding.ealing.sch.uk.

Times Table Rock Star winners:, congratulations to 6F!
Wed 20 Apr 2022Congratulations to 6F who scored an overall 2,970 points over the Easter break on Times Tables Rock Stars and the overall top player prize went to 6F’s Rocker B. Thriller (Ryad Madid)! Well done 6F and Ryad, extremely impressive scores.
Overall, many pupils have shown real excitement and enjoyment from participating in all battles completed so far and are determined to be the next Fielding Band winners. We are seeing that pupils are proud that they had the opportunity to contribute towards their band and collate points collectively as a team.
From this term, pupils will participate in weekly ‘mini battle of the bands’ within year groups and the top scoring class and pupil within each year group will be awarded a certificate during Phase Assemblies. We hope this will continue to motivate and challenge pupils whilst creating that friendly, competitive flare within year groups and classes.
Please continue to encourage practice at home for a minimum of three minutes in any of the game stages as we have seen a rapid increase in fluency in KS2 from the regular practice taking place in school and at home. This will now contribute to running battles throughout the week for individual achievements.
Since investing in TTRS and its programme we have noticed that pupils are rapidly recalling tables and overall showing great confidence and motivation to be even better mathematicians.
A massive well done to all KS2 band members for participating and fulfilling your roles by showing great teamwork to earn points for your class band.
The next KS2 battle will be over the May half-term so continue to practice until then to boost your speed, fluency and confidence!

Constellation team and values baccalaureate, fresh new look
Wed 20 Apr 2022Our constellation teams and values baccalaureate are getting a fresh new look. We will be launching this with the children in Monday's assembly.
For Years 4, 5 and 6, there are now 4 levels for the values baccalaureate. We have added a new platinum level, in recognition that some children are are ready to move on to this stage.
We have also created a 'hall of fame', recognising those children who have already achieved bronze, silver or gold.
Completing each stage of the baccalaureate will now also contribute to the overall constellation points total, children will be awarded the coloured constellation tokens for each level they achieve; 5 for bronze, 10 for silver, 15 for gold, 25 for platinum.
We will share a list by class and constellation so that Star Leaders can keep a close eye on this and motivate and offer advice children in their own constellation to get started on working towards these awards.
To achieve each of the levels, a portfolio of work should be put together to show how each of the tasks have been met and how this links in with our values (not electronic). This should be shared with the class teacher. Awards will then be awarded by myself or Mr Dunmall in the Monday assembly.
Find our more about the values baccalaureate and our updated task cards click on the link below:
To look at our current 'hall of fame' click below
To increase children's sense of belonging and to raise the status of the constellations each child will receive one of our new constellation badges (see image below) I am hoping these will arrive in school next week. Star Leaders will have more of a role in promoting and supporting children in their own constellation team.
For more information on how our values-based education, constellations and behaviour link together click on the link below
Star Leader hustings for next year's star leaders will take place on 6th June. Current Year 5 children have been asked to start preparing for this. Click on the link below to find this year's criteria.
