Dear Parent / Carers,
SEND children Parent/Carer Coffee Morning
All families and carers are invited to attend our SEND parent coffee morning on Wednesday 12th June at 9am (after morning drop off) hosted by Morgan Currie. Please sign in at the main office. Come and join us for a coffee/tea and a chat. This term we will host Zoe Buxton from CAMHS who will discuss her role with supporting children at our school and “Brain Buddies”. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
Modern Foreign Language Assistants Looking for Accommodation
Each year we employ a modern language assistant who is a Spanish speaking person who comes to the UK for one year and works in schools to supplement their time in the UK supporting teachers with the delivery of Spanish lessons. Finding accommodation is always a challenge for them so if you have a spare room and would like to improve your Spanish this is an ideal opportunity! For more information please email Des Georgiou at Des.Georgiou@barnet.gov.uk
Changes to Holiday Club Hours
We are also mindful that family’s needs during the school holidays can vary and that not everyone will need the full wrap around care of 8am to 6pm and that a shorter session based around the school day of 9am – 4pm may be more cost effective and meet your needs.
We will therefore trial offering parents the choice of either an 8am to 6pm session or 9am to 4pm.
| Per Session per Child (Current Fee) |
Additional Siblings (Current Fee) |

Latest from the HSA
Match Funding:
Thank you to everyone so far who has reached out with regards to our newly launched match funding campaign. It’s not too late to find out if the company you work for offers match funding, and we can help you find out more. Together we could raise even more funds through our HSA events for our incredible school. Many companies match charitable donations/fundraising/event volunteering, so for example, if we raised £5k at the summer fair, a match funding partnership could match it anywhere from 25% – 100%! Can you imagine if we managed to DOUBLE the amount we raise for the school, just think of all the amazing things our children could benefit from. Contact Alex Lawson or Tess Van den Oever to find out more – even if your company is not listed, we could still help!
