LEO FOUNDATION - SHARE YOUR VIEWS
Tell us what you think - developing our new Foundation to enable every child at a LEO Academy to thrive
LEO Academy Trust has a trust-wide Foundation, which raises money that can be used to support children at our schools and to promote social inclusion in the community.
There are a huge range of activities that the Foundation could support, so we want to listen to the whole school community – children, parents, and staff, to get their views and ideas. We have asked a charity specialist, Nicola Upton, to help us with this.
On Thursday 20th June, Nicola will be holding a listening day, to gather the views of the children, parents, and staff.
Nicola will be running an informal drop in session for parents at the end of the school day, so you can share your views and ideas. Please just stop by as and when you can.
Time: 2.15pm
Location: Community Room
If you can’t attend but would like to get involved, you can fill in this short survey. Please complete it by 7th June.

Come to the office with your child and their medicine before school each day
Your child will receive a medication label
Collect your medication from the office each day
DROP OFF AND PICKUP REMINDERS
All Year Groups:
The playground can be a busy place. Please keep your children (including younger siblings) with you at all times. Children should not be playing or unaccompanied in any area of the playground at either drop off or pickup. This includes the grass area, the trim trail and the reception playground. When you have collected your children, please make your way out of the playground quickly.
Reception:
Please do not allow your children to play on the climbing frame, open the equipment sheds or play with the reception toys. These areas are tidied at the end of the school day and left set up for the following morning.
Year 3-6:
When waiting to collect your child, please wait on the playground in front of the class dismissal area. Please do not wait in the shelters (children going to after school clubs wait in there).
Late collections
Please contact the School Office if you are going to be late collecting your child. School finish times can be found here.
If you arrive at school more than 10 minutes after your child’s finish time your child may be sent to Aces wraparound care and a charge of £15 may be applied for emergency childcare.

At Cheam Fields Primary Academy we recognise that good attendance gives our children the best possible opportunity for learning and reaching their full potential. Children need to attend school regularly if they are to take full advantage of the education opportunities available to them as well as their relationships with friendship groups. Giving your child the best start in life is every parent or carer’s wish. The opportunity to learn and make progress is essential to improve life chances. Good attendance is key to securing this.
Illness - If your child is going to be off school due to illness, please complete our Absence form here by 8:30a.m on each day of Absence giving the reasons for any absence, this is an important safeguarding issue for the school.
Appointments - If your child has to have an appointment during school time please fill in the appointments form here. If your child will be in school over the lunch period please ensure you have filled in if they will be school dinners or packed lunch. A copy of any evidence for appointments must be emailed or brought into the office.
Exceptional Absence - Taking holidays in term time affects children’s schooling as much as any other absence and the school expects parents to help us by not taking children away in school time. There is no automatic entitlement in law to time off in term time to go on holiday. The Governing Body does not sanction absence during term time. Any authorisation given by the Principal will be at her discretion and only in exceptional circumstances.
Please fill in the request for exceptional absence here.
