Local Zumba instructor and Cheam Park Farm Academy mum, Shifra Sheikh, is putting on a charity event at the Cheam Park Farm Junior School (Kingston Site) on 15th July at 6.45pm to raise funds for London’s Air Ambulance-Up Against Time Appeal. All ticket sales go directly to the appeal. She has raised funds for local families and national charities at events hosted at the Kingston site!

Shifra is now exploring the possibility of offering free in person classes for the LEO Academy school community (teaching staff /parents/carers) from September. 

Shifra is a mental health first aider, mentor and wellbeing ambassador for the Civil Service. She is keen to promote and support physical and mental wellbeing in our community. Please get in touch with her via : instructor@zumbashifra.com so she can add you to a WhatsApp group to conduct a poll on dates/times/class format (virtual/in-person). 

Why not come and meet her on the 15th at the school to try out a Zumba class / ask any questions! We hope as many of our parents/teaching community take advantage of this offer!

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.
