Happy Easter to all families celebrating!

- 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.

- SENT ON BEHALF OF THE HARINGEY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH – Guidance for schools, please use the link below and read the information: The UK Healthy Security Agency (UKHSA) has published Information for education settings in England regarding the meningococcal disease outbreak
- 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.

In the first week back, we will be discussing the properties and purpose of various boxes / containers and we would be grateful if each child could bring a box / container packaging (e.g.: for food, toys, shoes, egg boxes, packages etc...) into class by Tuesday 14th April 2026. Please note, we will be disassembling these containers. Thank you so much.
Year 4
- Donations of Board or Card Games - In Year 4, we are currently developing a board game curriculum to support pupils’ learning across a range of areas, including communication skills, strategic thinking, teamwork, and resilience. Board games provide a fun and engaging way for children to practise turn-taking, problem-solving, and positive social interaction. To help us build a varied and exciting collection of games for the classroom, we would be very grateful for any donations of board or card games you may no longer use at home. We are particularly interested in games such as Uno, Snakes and Ladders, Ludo, Articulate, Bananagrams, Ubongo, Battleships, Shut the Box, Connect 4, Draughts, Chess, Guess Who, Backgammon, Scrabble, Forbidden Island, Outfoxed!, and Dobble. All donations, whether new or gently used (with all pieces included), would be greatly appreciated and put to good use by the children. If you are able to contribute, please send any donations into school with your child. Should you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. Thank you very much for your continued support.

Ongoing Reminders
- Parking on School Streets
If you drive, please park considerately and legally on the streets around the school. Please do not block residents’ driveways. Park and walk is the best and safest strategy.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of all children.
We wish everyone a lovely break and we look forward to welcoming you back on Monday, 13th April!
