2022/2023 PE Schedule

Please click here for the PE Schedule for 2022/2023.

We have made the decision for the children to remain coming into school in their PE kits on their two PE days. This must be the Brookfield PE kit and not other sports wear (e.g. Nike, Adidas etc).

For more information on the required PE kit please refer to our uniform information.

On these sports days, children must have their hair tied up and not be wearing any jewellery - watches can be left in the classroom during the PE lesson and earrings must be left at home. If earrings cannot be removed, they must be covered prior to coming to school.

On non PE days, if your child is attending a before school club, they must bring in their school uniform to change into. If they are attending an after school club, they must bring their PE kit to change into. For any specific events/tournaments, a kit may be provided.

Clubs

We have pleasure in attaching a list of the clubs we are able to offer for the (to be updated).

The list includes clubs run internally by staff members as well as those run by external agencies (Love Theatre Arts, Motion Dance, Debutots and Progressive Martial Arts). If you would like your child to attend the external after school clubs, please contact the school office for further information.

To apply for clubs, please complete the Google form listed below: -

For KS1 clubs Year 1&2 After School Clubs

For KS2 clubs Year 3&4 After School Clubs

Year 5&6 After School Clubs

Clubs will start week commencing (to be updated). There may be occasions when clubs are unable to run but we will let you know in advance where possible.

**Please note - No clubs run the last week of term**

Once we have allocated all the places we will send confirmation via your Arbor account. We will only send an email if your child has been successful in securing a place. Please only apply for a club if your child is committed to attend all sessions unless they are ill.

We know that children having good attendance and punctuality has a direct impact on progress in school. Children who attend frequently are far more likely to achieve academic success than those with poor attendance who tend to fall behind in their learning.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS, because...

• Children with good attendance achieve much better in their learning

• Time off disrupts learning for you child, and also for the rest of the class

• Children who miss school miss out on their right to a full education

• It is your legal responsibility to ensure that your child attends school regularly

• Persistent unauthorised absence could lead to court action, including fines

What to do it my child is absent?

Please can we remind all parents/carers that if your child is going to be absent from school that you use the Brookfield Absence Form (instead of leaving a message on the answerphone).

We know that illness is unavoidable and to be expected, especially at the moment due to Covid-19. Knowing whether pupils are going to be absent from school and the reasons for any absences is an important safeguarding issue for the school.

It is therefore, vitally important that if your child is not going to be in school that you complete our the form by 9:15am.

The form has 3 separate sections for Coronavirus Related / General Illness / Other Reason for Absence (ie. appointments).

The form can also be found on the Weekly Newsletters and Brookfield Website home page under Parents - Absence and Attendance:

http://www.brookfield.sutton.sch.uk/875/absence-and-attendance

Please note that you ONLY need to complete the form if your child is off school you do not need to call and leave a message.

If for any reason you are unable to access the form then please either call the school and leave a message on the school absence line on 020 8644 8616 opt 1 (you do not need to speak to a member of the office staff) or email the office on: bfoffice@leoacademytrust.co.uk.

Please note that if your child is unwell for 5 or more days (unrelated to Covid-19), medical evidence may be requested.

Special Leave Request

Approval for leave must be applied for BEFORE organising any travel plans. Leave will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances.
