We are very pleased that our teaching staff is extremely stable for next year. We are delighted to welcome Mrs Judge and Miss Harland back from Maternity Leave as well as welcoming Mr Hollaway to the Cheam Common teaching team on a permanent basis. 

As you all know, Mr Greaves joined us at Easter as our Sports' Coach. We are pleased that our Sports’ team is expanding and that he will be joined by Mr Honeysett, Miss Mills and Miss Eldridge this academic year. 

However, as always at this time of year, we say farewell to some of our current team. Miss Fox will be leaving us after two years to go travelling. We wish her all the best on her adventures: her enthusiasm, passion and care will be greatly missed at Cheam Common. We also say farewell to Mrs Kamali who we welcomed back this term from maternity leave. Mrs Kamali is going to spend some time with her daughter. Mrs Kamali has been an asset to Cheam Common, always going above and beyond and her caring and kind nature will be missed. 

The Friends Summer Fair is coming up soon - Saturday, 15th July.  We have a fun day of games and activities planned for our wonderful Cheam Common families and we hope you will join us.

In order to make the day happen though, we need your help!  We are looking for volunteers to help us set up, run the stalls and help clear up at the end.  

The fair will run from 11am - 2pm.  Set up will be from 9am and clear-up will be once the fair is finished.  

Please use the sign-up sheet here https://volunteersignup.org/3YRXM to indicate the slots you are able to cover.  They are split into sessions of one hour but if you can do more, please sign up for all you can offer.

When choosing your slot, note that the KS1 and KS2 choirs will be performing for about 20mins at 12.15 so if your child is singing, you may wish to bear that in mind when choosing your slots. If your Year 6 child wishes to sign up to help run a stall, they are very welcome to do so but we ask that you join them also.

To say thank you for helping us on the day, all volunteers will be entered into their own raffle! If you have any questions, please contact us at Friends_CCA@outlook.com.

The postponed Year 3 & 4 Sports Day will now take place on the afternoon of Monday 17th July.

Parents are invited to join us down at the Scout Hut from 1pm. There will be a designated parent area to observe from. The Sports Day will last until approximately 3pm.

Please ensure children come dressed in their PE kit and preferably, with a top the colour of their house. They will require a water bottle for the day too, as well as weather-appropriate items, e.g. suncream, sunhat.

Please note that After School Club provision will close at 5pm on Friday 21st July.

The end of the normal school day will be 2:05pm.

Children across the school wrote a wishlist of the different books that they would like to see in their library and their classrooms. 

We have collated this wishes and have put together an Amazon Wish List, which can be found here. If parents and families wish, there are over a hundred books that children are desperate to read on the list and these can be ordered as a present to our school. Alternatively, if you notice a book on the list that your children no longer read, we are always grateful for any donations!

It has also been suggested by our children that, on a birthday, rather than bringing sweets in for their classmates, children choose a book on the list that they would like to donate to their class. This also falls in line with our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles. On the order, there is an option to leave a message - you can specify which class the book is for. As ever, we recognise that money can be tight so please note that this is entirely optional. Any support is always appreciated.

‘Small Change, Big Difference’ Parent Group for parents of children with a diagnosis of autism.'

We are also looking to host another Small Change, Big Difference course with Adapt to Learn. For those that are unfamiliar with this course, we run this as an alternative to the Early Bird programme. Some information about this is below. If you are interested in attending this course, please email: sutton@nas.org.uk and we'll be in touch.

The aim is to empower parents, supporting them to help their children by developing an in-depth understanding of autism.  Taking a positive approach, we will explore, share and discuss practical strategies to help develop communication skills, pre-empt and manage behaviour and gain confidence and resilience.  

During the sessions, parents will be given the opportunity to make connections, gain support and feel less isolated.  

Each course comprises of four x 1.5-hour sessions and will cover a range of topics.
