Years 3,4,5 & 6 ordering meals in advance starts on Monday
Fri 23 Sep 2022Ordering individual meals for each pupil in advance takes effect on Monday 26th September. Make sure you have ordered your child's meals in advance. We are making these changes because we need to:
- better match the meals pupils choose to eat to the food that we serve;
- we want to reduce the amount of food that is cooked and wasted each day.
Please order your child's individual meals now using the website, www.parents.feedinghungryminds.co.uk
- Register or login to your account
- Add a child to your account
- Top up your balance
- Order meals
- Change or cancel meal choices, if needed
Parents already use steps 1,2 & 3 to manage your child's school meal account. Steps 4 & 5 are new.
Find out more and get help:
- Parents, School dinners, School lunch ordering, your 'how to' guide
- contact the on-line ordering support team by
- E: feedinghungryminds@uk.issworld.com
- P: 01924 792334 (9am - 4pm, Monday - Friday)
Please help us to better match the food we serve to the meals that pupils want to eat so that we reduce food waste.
At the moment, we estimate the amount of food we need to cook based on previous weeks. We do not want to run out of food during a meal service so too much food gets cooked. Ordering in advance will help us better match the amount of food cooked to the meals we serve.
For Reception, year 1 & 2 pupils, family style service and free school meals for all continues. There is no need to order meals in advance using this system.
Nursery lunch and afternoon tea continues, unchanged. There is no need to order meals in advance using this system.

Use of play equipment, scooters and bikes before and after school
Thu 22 Sep 2022During morning drop-off and after-school collection, children should not play on any playground equipment. Bikes and scooters must be walked. These simple rules are to keep everyone safe.
The school site is busy with many parents and pupils walking to and from school. Children riding bikes or scooters creates too much of a bump or crash risk. Cycling or scootering to and from school is encouraged. Bikes and scooters must be walked as soon as they are on our site.
Every pupil has a fair chance to use our playground equipment during the week. Sessions are timetabled so equipment and zones do not get too crowded.

Core value for October: Resilience
Thu 22 Sep 2022Value of the month: Resilience
As the nights draw in and the days get colder, our value for October seems fitting, resilience. Our four core values are:
- respect
- resilience
- empathy
- reflection
As we move into October children will be focusing in class time and during assemblies on the value of resilience. To help children's understanding we will focus on what actions do and do not show the value.
Take a look at our values area of the website for more details on our Values-based Education and information about the value of resilience.

Paying for school meals in advance
Thu 22 Sep 2022School meal debt is rising because some parents are not paying before pupils eat a school meal. This is unusual for Fielding parents and pupils.
School meal debt is high in many other schools. It has never been a problem here. We need your help because:
- I do not want families to owe large amounts and struggle to pay their bill;
- The school has to pay half of any school meal debts to the caterer at the end of the year. This is a waste of money that should be spent on pupils.
If school meals are not paid in advance or there is money owing then we will contact parents by phone and email to check, help and offer support over the next few weeks.
If debts continue, we will then stop serving pupils a school meal. We will contact you on the day and ask you to provide a packed lunch for your child.
Avoid school meal debts by:
- Creating an account with Feeding Hungry Minds. If your child eats a school meal you need an account.
- Turn on the automatic top-up function so that the account never runs out of money.

PTFA needs new volunteers to step up at AGM (4 Oct)
Wed 21 Sep 2022The PTFA holds its AGM on Tuesday 4 October in the main school hall at 8.30pm. Sadly we have a number of committee members standing down including the Chair, Treasurer and one co-secretary following a solid five year stint and our Vice-Chair is also standing down.
It is really important that fresh faces join the committee to help ensure the PTFA's ongoing commitments to the school are maintained. Adding new members will also spread the workload across the team ensuring it becomes less reliant on a small group.
If you are able to spare a small amount of time each week or even each month, then we'd love to hear from you. Happily, the outgoing team will still be on hand to mentor/advise on best practice should anyone need advice if you are new to volunteering.
If you would like to discuss any of the roles or how to get involved, please email FieldingPTFA@gmail.com or come along to the AGM on 4 October where wine and soft drinks will also be available to celebrate our past 12 months successes but also welcome new parents in a face-to-face environment.

Wed 21 Sep 2022Due to popular demand, the PTFA will be running a secondhand uniform sale on Saturday 1 October in the Main Hall between 10am - 1pm. Although we have pretty good stocks of secondhand uniforms for KS2 aged children, we really could do with some branded uniform items for Nursery, Reception and Y1 aged pupils. We'll be collecting secondhand uniforms at the Coombe Road entrance from Monday 26 September through to Friday 30 September. Please do not drop any uniform off at the Wyndham Road entrance this time around.
