Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls
Dear Parents and Carers,
It is hard to believe that we have been back at school for two weeks already. All pupils have settled incredibly well and are loving learning in their new year groups
A reminder to all parents that from Monday, pupils will walk to their classrooms independently. They know where to go now and are quite able to make their way to their classrooms and start the day independently.
If you need to speak with staff, teachers are available at the end of the day or you can send an email to the year group mailbox.

Queen Elizabeth II Funeral, Monday 19th September
School is closed on Monday 19th September to allow families to pay their respects to the Queen together and in their own way. If you would like to leave a floral tribute or sign a book of condolence you can find more information here on how to do this across Havering.

All of the dates above are available on the school calendar which can be accessed via the school website.
Look out for the blogs on all of the above events.
INSET Dates for 2022-23
Havering school term dates 2022-2023
Year 6 Parents
As your child is now in Year 6, now is the time that you will need to make an application for your child to start secondary school in September 2023.
Without an application your child will not be offered a Secondary school place.
Please visit the Havering website www.havering.gov.uk/admissions/secondary where you will find a brochure titled ‘Transferring to a Havering Secondary School in September 2023’ along with a short presentation video which explains the application process and answers some of the most common questions asked by parents. You will also find a link to the application system (eAdmissions).
All applications for Secondary Schools must be submitted online by no later than 31 October 2022.
Year 5 Parents
At this time of year the Secondary schools invited parents to come and look around schools and hear from staff what they can offer your child. You can find all of the dates for open evenings around Havering here.
After School Clubs
Please apply for after school club places via the link below. These are the clubs that are offered by school staff and not the Essex After School child care option.
Autumn Term After School Clubs Applications
Lunch Times
We are re-introducing our lunchtime clubs from 19th September. Please see the lunchtime clubs on offer below.
Pupil Premium
The Government uses the number of children registered as eligible for Free School Meals as the basis for allocating extra funding to our schools. This is called ‘Pupil Premium’ funding and it has fantastic potential for supporting all of the pupils at our schools. That’s why it is so important that we have as many eligible parents and families sign up as possible
If you apply and are successful here are some of the benefits:
● You will receive a £40 voucher per child, per year to assist with the cost of school uniform redeemable at Premier Schoolwear.
● The school can provide assistance with contributions towards school trips and residential visits.
● After school clubs can continue to be free of charge
● Access to the Holiday Activities and Food Programme during the Christmas holidays and future school holidays for as long as government funding is continued
Remember - you don’t actually have to eat the school dinners!
Some children or families are put off because they think that Free School Meals status means that they have to eat the school lunches. This is not true! Should you prefer to bring a packed lunch from home, that is absolutely fine. But the school will still get this important funding. Even KS1 children who already receive Universal Free School Meals may still be eligible for this funding.
You may be eligible if you get any of the following:
● Income Support
● income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
● income-related Employment and Support Allowance
● support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
● the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
● Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
● Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
● Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
If it is confirmed that your child is entitled to free school meals, they will remain eligible until they finish this phase of schooling (primary) they are in on 31st March 2022. There will be no need to inform the school or council if your personal circumstances change.
What to do now:
You can make your application on the Havering Council website:
https://www.havering.gov.uk/info/20006/schools_and_education/431/school_support
OR if you prefer, you can contact the school office and give your details and permission and we can check your eligibility for you.
Weekly Attendance Target 96%
KS1: 97% KS2 92%: Overall: 95%
Congratulations to Pine and Cedar who top the attendance table this week.
Havering Catering Services
Week beginning 19th September is week 2 on the Havering catering services menu. All meals are served with unlimited salad and vegetables and cost £2.37.
Please be reminded that your child’s sQuid account should be topped up at all times. We cannot provide dinners for pupils whose account exceeds a debt of £10. If you are experiencing difficulties please contact Mrs West in the school office who will be able to provide you with support and assistance.
