OPAL Shout Out

Friends of Coldfall

 

SAVE THE DATE! Our 2026 Summer Fair will be taking place on the afternoon of Saturday 27th June!

 

Road Safety COMPETITION – deadline Friday 1st May

Our Junior Travel Ambassadors are running a competition to see who can make the best creative project on road safety. This could be whatever the children like – they could bake a cake, make a film or animation, make up a song or poem, design a poster – as long as it is about road safety. There will be prizes for the best projects. So, get your children creating! They should give in their project (or a picture of it) to their class teacher by Friday 1st May.

Hedgehog Friendly Schools – please support!

This year, Coldfall is working with the charity SOS-UK to become accredited as a Hedgehog Friendly School. This important programme is raising funds to continue supporting schools and pupils across the UK to take practical, meaningful action for hedgehogs, which are in severe decline in this country. Please consider donating to the upcoming Hedgehog Friendly Schools Big Give campaign running from: 12pm Wednesday 22nd April - 12pm Wednesday 29th April. Thank you! Mrs Greene

Driving and Parking

Even through nearby roads such as Greenham Road and Wilton Road are not school streets, please ensure you are driving and parking safely, and being considerate of the residents. Where possible, please walk the entire journey to school so you won’t need to park.

 

Nursery

After collecting your child from Nursery, please leave the school site. Do not stay and allow your children to play in the main playground. This is for health and safety and safeguarding reasons.

If you have an older child to collect, please wait outside the gate until

Ongoing Reminders

 

Coldfall Avenue School Gate – Opening Hours

The Coldfall Avenue gate is locked between 9.05 am and 3.15 pm. Please use the Everington Road entrance during these times. There are no exceptions. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of all children.

 

Administering Medication

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.

 

Mobile Phones

Parents, please be reminded NO mobile phone use on the school premises at all before and after school. We want you to set the best example for our children – be present for them at these important times. If parents are on their phones at drop off/pick up time, a member or staff may politely request that they put it away until they have left the playground.

 

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 applies to older children as well). The site is not supervised early in the morning. Please also be reminded that you will not be able to come in for Breakfast club until 8.00am.

 

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.
