Dear Parents/Carers
At Heathfield, we strive to provide a safe learning environment for all students. Due to some of our pupils suffering from nut allergies, we have been advised to become a nut free school. An allergic reaction (anaphylactic shock) can occur through ingestion of nut products, cross contamination and breathing nut dust in the air.
Dear Parents and Carers,
Unfortunately, we have had notification of a positive COVID-19 test within Reception. I am informing you that I have consulted with Public Health England to ensure that we are taking the right actions to keep our school community in good health. The advice that Public Health have given is outlined below:
Dear Parents and Carers,
Unfortunately, we have had notification of a confirmed COVID-19 result in Reception. I have spoken with Public Health England to ensure that we are taking the right actions to keep our school community in good health. The advice that Public Health have given us is outlined below:
They have advised that ALL children and affected staff in Reception need to self-isolate until Saturday 5th June. This means that the children can go out from the 5th June and we look forward to welcoming your children back to school as normal on Monday 7th June.
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are rapidly approaching the half term break and I know for lots of the children and staff it will be a welcome break. We just need some sunshine now! Along with the rest of the senior leadership team, I have been having a close look at the children’s planners over the last few weeks to see how much they are reading at home. It has been a very varied picture, but two super examples that I have seen belong to Maryam Hussnain in
5A and Malaika Khan in 4C. Well done girls.
Dear Parents and Carers,
I am absolutely delighted to inform you officially that we have been awarded the Unicef UK Rights Respecting Schools Bronze Award. It was awarded at the end of last term (on the last day) and I would like to thank Miss Elahi and Miss Begum for all of their hard work.
In other news, the Prince Albert High School development is progressing extremely well and we had an extremely successful recruitment drive. PA High were inundated with applications for their Teaching vacancies and as a result of this have an exceptional founding cohort of staff for the pupils attending in September 2021. There are still a few places left in our opening cohort and if you would like to apply for a place for your child, head over to the PA High website for more information.
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to the final newsletter of this term. This week marked the one year anniversary of the first lockdown and looking back, I would never have guessed that we would still be working our way through this pandemic a year later. When I look at the children and see how much they have grown, I am taken aback at the progress they have made in so many ways.
The current situation in schools is extremely challenging and we appreciate all parental support in engaging with either self-isolation or COVID-19 testing where needed. Under DFE guidance, it is clear that children have a right to their education – in school or at home.
At Heathfield, we don’t want any of our children to miss out on learning unnecessarily. It is crucial that children are continuing to learn when they are unable to be in school due to Covid-19 related reasons.
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back! It has been wonderful to see the children returning and this week as a school we have focused on wellbeing, rebuilding relationships and routines. We are aware that some of our children have had challenges to face over this lockdown and we are here to support them. Mrs Toth and Miss Begum have put together a whole programme of activities to help the children settle back in to school life.
