Watches at School

We would like to clarify our rules around watches at Coldfall Primary School. Children are welcome to wear watches as long as they are not connected to phones and cannot send or receive messages, make calls, take photos, or play games.

Fitbits are allowed, provided they follow the same rules.

As a school, we always recommend analogue watches, as these help children learn to tell the time—an important life skill that supports their learning in class.

Thank you for helping us keep our classrooms safe, focused, and distraction-free.

 

Sport

After our success in becoming the first Haringey schools Games champions last academic year, as well as our continued sporting achievements, we are putting together a week to celebrate sport. During the week we will aim to accumulate 10,000 hours of participation opportunities for children, staff and parents. The aims for the week, to be held in the Summer term, are:

-To celebrate our achievement in being the Haringey Champions

- To spark the children’s interest in sports they haven’t previously considered

- For the school community to come together, and have fun being active

- To promote regular physical activity as a vital part of wellbeing

 

This is where we need your help. If you have any hidden sport skills, links to clubs or know anyone that would like to help with demonstrations, taster sessions, assemblies or if you have some ideas then please send an email to me. We are looking to give our children the widest variety and range we can from pickleball to wrestling or skateboarding to mountaineering.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Wellies and Coats

Children will be playing outside in all weathers. Please ensure they have wellies and warm waterproof coats to wear. They also need a spare pair of trousers/joggers in case their legs get wet. Please also ensure their name is on all these items. We recommend Stikins labels https://www.stikins.co.uk/order/ who kindly offer schools a small commission. If you choose Stikins for labels please use our fundraising code 4762.

 

Breakfast Club

We strongly recommend that you walk your children to the door of breakfast club in the mornings rather than leaving them at the school gates. (This includes older children) The site is not supervised early in the morning.

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.
