SEND Support Meetings

Parents of children on the SEND register can attend a SEND support meeting with their child’s class teacher and Miss Buckley (SENDCo). These will be available to book on Arbor from 10am on Monday 24th February.

As Miss Buckley has very limited availability, any meetings not attended will not be rescheduled. If you cannot attend your meeting, please inform us in advance by contacting the school office.

Opportunity to submit artworks – all year groups

Now in its seventh year, the Young Artists’ Summer Show is a free, open submission exhibition for students aged 4–18 studying in the UK. Artworks are judged by a panel of artists and arts professionals, with selected artworks displayed online and on-site at the Royal Academy of Arts. Submission is open until 5 March 2025. Coldfall Primary School is registered and parents can submit artworks on behalf of their children on the website. We have so many amazing artists in this school and encourage any of the children to submit an artwork they are particularly proud of.

Parents can submit artworks on the website here: https://youngartists.royalacademy.org.uk/

Please see attached for a poster and further guidance on submissions.

Good luck!

Sweets

This is a reminder that children are not allowed to bring sweets, chocolate, biscuits etc into school. If any of the above are seen, they will be thrown away. This includes after school activities. Children should bring in fresh fruit and veg as snacks only.

Uniform

Children should wear either a Coldfall uniform fleece/cardigan/jumper with a logo or a blue fleece/cardigan/jumper to school every day, even on PE days. If your child comes to school wearing a non-uniform top as specified above, they will be given a jumper from lost property to wear.

Absence Reporting

Please continue to report your child’s absence on the Arbor app instead of emailing or calling the absence line this half term.

Lost Property

Please note any clothing that is not clearly named will be donated to Friends of Coldfall each Friday for their second-hand uniform sales.

Any named lost property will be returned to your child’s class or can be collected from the playground every Friday after school.

Nursery

Once you have collected your child from Nursery, please leave the school site straight away. Parents and carers are not allowed to remain on site whilst they wait for older children to finish school for safeguarding reasons.

Year 3

Year 3 will be visiting Fortismere school for a theatre performance on Wednesday 26th February. As part of their GCSE project, the Theatre Studies students at Fortismere will be creating a short play based on our science curriculum all about skeletons, muscles and healthy eating.

We are hoping to start playing games each week in Year 3 and are looking for donations of

1. Top trumps
2. Guess Who

Please bring any donations to the school office.

We will also be asking for parent volunteers who may have 30 mins weekly to spare. If you would like to volunteer, please email the school office with your availability.
