    Value for the Month: Generosity

    Whole School

    Happy Easter to all families celebrating!

    • Easter Holiday Camp, April 2026 for children in years 1 to 6: You can book via your Arbor account

    • NEW Morning Fitness Club Years 3-6 – Starting in the Summer Term 8.00 – 8.45am (Breakfast is NOT included!) A new opportunity for some morning exercise! In the Summer term Flora will run the fitness club on a Monday and Friday mornings from 8.00am to 8:45am. The Fitness Club is open to children in Years 3–6. It’s a great opportunity for children to wake up their bodies and begin the school day feeling active and ready to learn.

    • Refilling Pencil Cases for the Summer Term - The children will come home from school today with their pencil cases. We politely ask that you check them and make sure that they have all they need for their learning. Please would you also take the time to label your child’s things. Sellotape and paper will do the job brilliantly. When things are labelled, we can return lost items quickly. We also kindly ask that you do not let your children bring in additional items such as staplers, calculators, tippex, felt tips or gel pens. 

    • PSHE and RSE lessons - Please find attached information regarding the PSHE and RSE lessons planned for the Summer term.
    • Thursday, 16th April 2026 – They are back!!! Eat Them to Defeat them – Veg Hunters – We need you!

    • Administering Medicine during the school day

    We are bound by the Local Authority regulations, which seek to exclude any drugs from school premises unless absolutely necessary. This means that any antibiotics taken three times a day should be administered before school, at the end of the school day and at bedtime. Should a child have to take antibiotics four times a day or have other medication during the school day as specifically instructed by the GP, we are happy to administer this medicine. However, before we do so, parents must provide consent and complete the Administering Medicine form. Medication should be provided in the original packaging, with the child’s name, giving clear administering instructions.

    Nursery

    • For parents in receipt of 30 hours Nursery funding, please remember to renew your 11-digit eligibility code before the start of the summer term in order to secure continuation of your funding. HMRC sends e-mail reminders to all eligible parents and carers, so please follow through.

  • Weekly reminder 2nd March - 6th March 2026

    Published 27/02/26

    Dear Parents and Carers,

    I am writing to explain our decision to use the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) for basketball rather than football during break and lunchtime.

    This decision has been made carefully, with the children’s safety and well being as our main priority. Football on the MUGA is very fast-paced, which can increase the likelihood of collisions and falls. By using the space for basketball instead, the game is slower and contact is reduced making play safer. The grass also provides a softer landing, helping to reduce the risk of injury should children slide or dive.

    We have also found that football in this particular space has sometimes led to a higher number of disagreements and overly competitive or aggressive incidents between children. Changing the use of the MUGA supports a calmer, more positive play environment for everyone.

    Importantly, this does not reduce football opportunities. Children are now able to wear wellies to access the field throughout the year, allowing them to continue enjoying games of football in a more suitable space. In addition, thanks to the generous donations from parents, we are currently planning to build a football skills wall to further enhance football provision and provide structured opportunities for all children to develop their skills.

    We remain committed to offering a broad range of active play opportunities while ensuring that play times are safe, inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.

    Mr Marshall

    Please see the weekly reminders below.

    Please check your child’s wellies are CLEARLY LABELLED with their NAME. Lots are getting misplaced or put back in the wrong place at break time, and it really helps if they have names in. Also, lots of children have the same wellies, which can cause confusion.

    Uniform

    Please note, children are not allowed to wear baseball caps to school. This is because they have a hard peak which could cause injury to the wearer if they had an accident, or someone else if there is a collision. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

    We have noticed a number of children wearing jumpers that do not in any way meet our expectations or guidelines around school uniform. Often these are logoed sports tops that. Children who are not wearing appropriate tops will be asked to replace it with a clean, second-hand item from our unclaimed lost property.

    Please note, children should be wearing blue jumpers/Coldfall logo jumpers every day including PE days.

    The children in Y4 have spent the past seven weeks of term learning and practising their times tables. Many of them are not yet fully secure on all of these important facts and it is really important that you keep on practising these at home. If the children do not practise with you at home, then they are likely to forget them. There have been some games shared to google classroom that you could use to practise these. Additionally, if you were to search for ‘Coldfall’ on Kahoot! You could find some interactive quizzes that we played in class that the children really enjoyed.

    Pencil Cases

    Your child’s class teacher will have sent your child home with their pencil case (Y1-Y6). Please could you take the time to look through these and restock them with anything that is missing. We are noticing that valuable learning time is being lost because children are having to search for or share glue sticks or to ask for pencils and pens (which the school only has a limited supply of). Please make sure that everything is named so that if it is not put away, we can give it back to your child.

    What should be in a pencil case: 3 sharp penicils, a whiteboard pen, a selection of colouring pencils, a glue stick, a sharpener, a pair of scissors, 2 handwriting pens (Y4,5,6 only).

    School Street

    Our new School Street SS50 Coldfall Primary launches on 1st December 2025 – Everington Road, Marriott Road, Steeds Road, Barringer Road and Hill Road. This will create a safer environment for children outside the school. Most vehicles will not be able to enter the School Street between 8:30 to 9:15 and 2:45 to 3:45pm during term time. Please look at ways to walk, scoot, cycle, wheel or use public transport to get to and from school.
    Blue Badge Exemptions are available (contact School) if you or your child/ren have a disability. The School Street will benefit our children’s health and safety by reducing pollution and congestion at the school gate. Please support the scheme by considering active travel on the school run.

    Meadow and Woodlands Education - Vote for us in Tesco!

    Friends of Coldfall Woods are currently campaigning for a Tesco Stronger Starts Grant (voting in local stores) - so they can run sessions in the wildflower meadow for Coldfall Primary School and other local schools. Year 4 took part in an excellent session with them this term, sowing wildflower seeds and learning about biodiversity. Please vote if you are in Tesco, so our children can benefit from more sessions like this! Thank you! Mrs Greene

    Bringing in items late to school

    If there is an item that you or your child has forgotten (such as water bottles, clothing, bags, books, musical instruments, lunch or snacks, etc.) can these please be brought to the office NO LATER than 9.30am. Taking items to classrooms during school hours disturbs teaching and learning, as well as the office.
