Message from the Principal

It was wonderful to bring our school community together on Thursday and Friday for our harvest celebrations. A heartfelt thank you goes to Miss Beach and all the staff for guiding and supporting the children to perform with such marvellous confidence—we are already looking forward to Christmas! We also want to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to the food bank. On Tuesday, we will take all donated items over to the church, where they will then be passed along to the local food bank.

Fostering strong community ties is essential to us here at Cheam Common, and we have been actively establishing links with local businesses. As part of this effort, we have partnered with Barnard Marcus to host an exciting colouring competition! Every child has been given a picture to decorate in school. The top entry from each year group will be proudly displayed in their shop window, giving the wider community a chance to vote on their favourite. The year group that receives the highest number of votes will win funding from Barnard Marcus to select new learning resources.

We kindly ask for another moment of your attention regarding lost property. We have accumulated a considerable number of unlabelled items of clothing and water bottles. At the end of this half term, any unlabelled school uniform will be displayed on tables in the main playground. Items that remain unclaimed will be donated to the Friends for their second-hand uniform sale. Unnamed water bottles will similarly be laid out on the tables and subsequently disposed of, as we unfortunately lack the space required to store unlabelled items indefinitely.

Thank you to everyone who has followed our safety guidelines by keeping children off the equipment at the end of the school day. Please bear in mind that this rule applies across all facilities—including the play equipment in the main playground, the trim trail, and the equipment located in both the Reception and Nursery areas.

Polite reminder...

As you know, we are a healthy school and therefore ask if your child would like to celebrate their birthday, they donate a book to a library instead of bringing treats.  This also ensures there are no concerns over allergies.

We will share any photos of children and their birthday books here every week!

If you would like to share your child's achievements outside of school with us, we'd love to hear them! Please complete this short form to tell us all about it!
