IMPORTANT UPDATES
WELL DONE TO ALL OUR YEAR 6 PUPILS ON COMPLETING YOUR SATS!
SATs don't measure sports
SATs don't measure art,
SATs don't measure music,
Or the kindness in your heart.
SATs don't see your beauty,
SATs don't know your worth,
SATs don't see the reasons,
You were put upon this earth.
SATs don't see your magic,
How you make others smile,
SATs don't time how quickly,
You can run a mile.
SATs dont hear your laughter,
Or see you've come this far,
SATs are just a tiny glimpse,
Of who you really are.
So sitting at your table,
With a pencil and your test,
Remember SATs aren't who you are,
Remember you're the best!

SCHOOLS MOBILE APP - PROTECTING YOUR CHILD ONLINE
We have been made aware of a new Schools Mobile App. The app is designed to protect children from accessing inappropriate material. It offers control over games, apps, websites and does not add incremental data usage. Meaning it won't drain any applicable data plan. The app is also capable of auto-setting YouTube on restricted mode, enforcing safe search and blocking adult, gambling and piracy related content.

PARKING REMINDER
As a healthy school we support children walking to school and we ask Parents /Carers to leave their cars at home. We do know that this is not always possible, so if you do drive please can we politely ask you to turn off your engines when waiting to drop off or collect your child and refrain from parking over residents driveways.
Sadly we have received complaints about dangerous driving at school drop-off and pick-up. Please can we think about the safety of all our Cheam Fields family and local community when driving.
Thank you in advance for your support in this important issue and let’s hope together we can ensure the safety of the children and be more considerate to our local residents.
