Over the summer holidays, we have had lots of different building projects (and some more to come!).
Thank you to our site staff who have worked hard over the summer to get everything ready for the children coming back.
As we are now into the term, we would like to send some key reminders about our school PE kit. More information about our school uniform can be found below on our school website. https://www.cheamparkfarmprimary.co.uk/726/school-uniform
Shorts
Please ensure that all PE shorts are similar to the pictures below rather than cycling shorts. These should be plain black and free from logos.
These can be purchased from our uniform shop but are also available elsewhere.

Tracksuit Bottoms
When the weather turns colder, children should wear a tracksuit bottom or leggings.
Please ensure that these are plain black and free of logos.
Jogging bottoms can be purchased from our uniform shop but are also available elsewhere.
Tracksuit Tops
Children should wear one of the following: a plain black round neck sweatshirt or a zip up ‘hoodie’; the school uniform quarter zip; or their green school jumper/cardigan.
Black sweatshirts can be purchased from our uniform shop but are also available elsewhere.

A reminder that children should not have smart watches in school.
Free School Uniforms
Sutton Community Uniform Bank provides free school uniforms for 4 - 18 year olds (they are unable to provide footwear). There is no eligibility to use this service (it is open to anyone with a child or young person who needs a school uniform).
Naming uniforms
Please can you ensure that all of your child's belongings are named.
Haircuts
You will be aware that our school uniform policy states no extreme haircuts. We have noticed that some children have had logos or letters shaved into their hair. This is not allowed under our school policy.
Jewellery such as rings, earrings or bracelets are not to be worn to school. In pierced ears, a plain round stud may be worn but must be removed for physical activities (including dance, gymnastics and swimming). We allow children to wear watches but they remain the responsibility of the child at all times. For safety reasons, long hair should be tied back at all times. Any hair accessories must be of the school colours and should be fit for purpose (i.e. not a fashion statement). No extreme styles of haircuts or eyebrow shavings are allowed. Hair must be of a natural colour and not dyed. Make-up and nail varnish are not allowed to be worn at school at any time.
We are writing to you today to ask for your help with a special charity project which provides free education to children in a country where the majority are fee paying. This school is free, which means there is a lot of demand for places but unfortunately they have very few resources (maybe 30 to 40 worn out books between 180 children). This month, we will be collecting books to send to a school in Mukono, Uganda. The children there are in great need of reading materials, and your donations can make a huge difference in their education.
We kindly request that you donate any unwanted reading books that are in good condition. To ensure the books can be used effectively and to minimize shipping costs, we have a few specific requirements:
We can only accept reading books. Please do not send any workbooks or textbooks.
The books should not have any markings or writing in them.
Please avoid sending heavy hardcover books.
Since this is a charity project, we are asking for a small donation to help cover the shipping costs, which are approximately £1 per kilogram. We would be grateful if each child could bring in a small bag of books along with/ or a £1 donation (it could even be 50p) to be given to their class teacher by Friday 26th September.
Please keep in mind that we do not have the capacity to collect multiple bags of books per child. A small bag of books, along with the £1 donation for shipping, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us make this project a success.
Many thanks in advance from the Eco Squad representatives.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Hafeez and Mrs Minhinnick

Simply navigate to the "Attendance" section, input the details, and submit. Our staff will then approve the absence, and you'll see it reflected in your child's attendance record.
Please note: This new system is for same-day absences only. For extended or future absences, please continue to report via the Special Authorised Absence Form on the school website.
Important change: From the Autumn Term, we will no longer be using the Google Form for sickness and appointment absences. All same-day absences must be submitted via the Parent Portal on the Arbor App.

If your child has an illness that requires them to take medication during school hours (e.g. antibiotics, cough medicine, creams etc.), you must fill in the Medicine Permission Form linked below.
This form, and the medication, must be brought to the school office on the morning that the medication is due to start. The school office staff will administer the medication at the times stated on the form by the parent/carer. You can collect the medication at the end of the school day, or at the end of the illness.
Please do not send any medicine into school with your child, this includes sore throat lozenges.
If we do not have a completed Medicine Permission Form we will not be able to administer medication to your child.
A polite reminder to avoid parking over driveways or in ways that could be dangerous in the roads around both sites. This includes not parking on lines where you should not park. This helps keep everyone safe, especially our children.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
We pride ourselves on offering our children varied and exciting experiences that help to support their learning of the curriculum. The School Fund will allow us to provide additional activities, school visits and enrichment opportunities across all year groups.
We have a voluntary school fund donation of £10 a term / £30 a year per child or £40 for a family if there are siblings at the school. We are aware of the current cost of living crisis and any donation will be gratefully received.
Parents can make payments for the School Fund online through our Arbor payment system. Simply log in to the parent portal and navigate to your child's home screen, then visit the school shop. From there, you can choose the appropriate school fund option based on your needs. You also have the flexibility to purchase multiple school funds. The available options are: School Fund - £10 per term, School Fund - £30 per year for each child, and School Fund - £40 per family for siblings attending the school.
We would like to thank you for your continued support.
Apply by completing the online application form, or call 02087705000.
