CONSIDERATE PARKING
If you need to park your car in the surrounding roads to drop off or collect your child, please ensure you park legally and considerately. Please do not block drives or hinder access for residents. Parking inconsiderately can create a dangerous situation for children crossing the road.
SAVE THE DATE!
The PTFA are in the process of organising our summer fair at Cheam Fields. For this to be a success we will be needing lots of help. We shall be sending around more information in the next few weeks.
Our Summer Fair will be sponsored this year by James Bailey Estate Agents. To advertise the fair, James Bailey would like to put up advertising boards. For each board that is put up James Bailey will donate a sum to the School - the board would be up for around 2 weeks.
If you would be happy for a board to be put up at your property, please complete this form.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS
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 can 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.
