Happy Easter from us all at Cheam Common Junior Academy
As we approach the end of Spring term, we look back at what has been a busy, fun-filled time here at Cheam Common Junior. Across the school, It has been inspiring to see so many of our children succeed with their learning. In fact, so many incredible learning opportunities have been completed by our amazing children, whether it be completing experiments as part of LEO Science Week, showcasing their favourite book characters during World Book Day to completing in a whole host of sporting activities.
Have a wonderful Easter break and we thank you for your continued support this term.
Please remember that School returns on Monday 25th April 2022!
In order to showcase just how many incredible opportunities have occurred during both in and outside of the classroom we have created a special slide show for you to look back on. You can check it out here!

Year 5 Residential Trip to Kingswood
Year 5 have been incredibly excited as they embark on their very first ever residential trip to Kingswood in Kent. Children have jumped into the array of activities organised and have had so much fun! From rock climbing to '3G' swings, team building activities, archery and more, children have loved the opportunity to swap their learning from the classroom to the great outdoors.
Thank you to all the teachers and adults who have helped organise the trip.

Healthy Schools at Cheam Common Junior
To ensure children develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle and make positive choices regarding healthy eating, at Cheam Common Junior, we are actively encouraging children to choose and select appropriate snacks to each both at break and lunch times.

Fruit and Vegetables:
A piece of fruit, such as apple, banana, pear, oranges, melon, berries, plums, grapes, mango, dried fruits and frozen fruits.
Carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber, tomato, snap peas and string beans.
Healthy Grains
Whole-grain cereal bars or healthy cereal bars, granola bars, crackers, and healthy rice cakes.
Low Fat Dairies
Low-fat cheese and low-fat yoghurt tubes.
Furthermore, as a ‘nut free school’, we must also insist that no foods that contain nuts are brought into school.

Summer Lunch Menus at Cheam Common Junior
At Cheam Common Juniors we want all of our children to become ‘healthy learners’ and we recognise how important that the food that our children eat is to this. Our school meals are designed to be appealing, varied and balanced, meeting Government guidelines for nutritional standards in schools. School dinners cost £2.35.
Click here to check out the Summer School Dinner menu and speak to our school office should you wish for your child to have a school meal. Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Halal and special dietary requirements are available. Please enquire for further information.
Amazon Wishlist to support our School & Class Libraries
Thanks to our friends at Usborne books, we have managed to secure £1,000 worth of free books, which will go along way to help provide children with new books to read in our school and class libraries.
As our ongoing pledge to increase books within our school and class libraries, we have put together an Amazon Wish List should you wish to help us in purchasing any books for these areas. Thank you so far to all those who have kindly purchased book so far.

Update - Current World Events in Ukraine
Ukraine is facing an urgent humanitarian crisis and as a result, I am sure you and your children are all saddened by the current events and may have questions or concerns. Many parents have enquired how they can help. Currently, there are several charities working tirelessly on the ground to offer support to the millions of people affected. We understand that it can be hard to know how to help so we have found some charity campaigns and fundraisers to donate to: Click Here
