No:03 Week ending 25.09.15
Dear Parents/Carers, Children, Staff and Governors,
Hopefully everyone in KS1 is back in the routine of being back to school. I appreciate that the
return it is often a shock to the system so the staff team have been ensuring that they induct the
children into their new classes with plenty of reminders, explanations and modelling of what is
expected in terms of work and behaviour. Of course, we will continue to do this, continue to give
focused praise for fantastic work and superb kind words and kind actions and continue to support
our learners. Some children have already been selected as Ambassadors and I have been pleased
to see so many children behaving well, making a great effort, working really well and being shining
examples. Please continue to encourage your children with these areas as it helps t make for a
happy, calm and focused school community who make good choices! Thank you.
Many thanks to the 20+ parent/carers who have already attended helpers’ meetings! Your support
and contribution is greatly appreciated! I’m looking forward to having the buzz of our helpers back
around school! Thank you for the time you give to us 
This coming Tuesday is Tidy up Tuesday. Please may you come in and help if you have been to
one of the existing helpers’ meetings as we have several jobs that we need a helping hand with!
Miss Read – our new Assistant Headteacher and class teacher of Lime Class (Reception) would
like to extend the plea for some additional tidy-up help on Wednesday and Thursday next week,
preferably in the afternoon. Any parent/helper from any year group is welcome so please do let her
know! Thank you.
After so much publicity, I thought the Rugby extravaganza was starting last week! Clearly, I was a
week ahead of myself…so enjoy tonight’s opening ceremony and the matches! Already, lots of
children have told me that they will be at some of the events or watching it on TV. Please be sure
to send us in your photos and info for our rugby display board! We’ll also be having a Supermagic
Rugby day in October (we will be able to confirm the date next week) so lots of action coming
up…and hopefully some rugby talent in our community who can come in and get involved! Please
let Miss Uppal (Gingko Class) or myself know. 
You may have noticed a hive of activity at school last Saturday. We are pleased that Stagecoach
are using our venue to support the arts and equally pleased that Sarah and Will Chitty (Eve, Year
2) are running it! Come and join the fun! Contact 020 8977 0843 for more information.
Have a superb weekend…and enjoy the Rugby Opening Ceremony, tonight at 7pm, ITV followed
by Fuji vs England at 8pm.
Warmest wishes,
HJP

Well done to Nursery and Reception Children and new joiners in Years 1 and 2
Wow! We have been thrilled and delighted with the smooth start to school for the Nursery and
Reception children. They have been amazing at settling in, quickly becoming familiar with tasks
and routines…including the few who have had a little wobbly moment here and there.
Parents/carers have been equally amazing at preparing their children for their next step in the
learning journey and have co-operated brilliantly with school requests such as a swift kiss-anddrop-off. Thanks and well done to everyone! It has been a great start for Early Years (Nursery
and Reception)
We have a couple of new joiners in KS1 and they have also made a good transition into their year
groups. Well done 
By the end of the month, we will be sending out ‘settling-in’ notes to let you know how your
child is doing but if you have any queries in the meantime, please do ask! Many thanks.
Positive behaviour Management – Information and a Competition
Positive Behaviour
Policy Sept 2015.doc
Please follow the link
So that you are aware, we always aim to ‘catch children being good’ and praise accordingly,
always referring to the school philosophies of ‘Kind Words and Kind Actions’, ‘Learn and Let Others
Learn, ‘I Can You Can We Can’ and the Hampton Wick High Five which encapsulates the learning
behaviours of ‘Ready, Respectful, Reasoning, Resilience and Reflect’ and the School Codes.
Some minor adjustments have been made regarding how we manage matters when things do not
go positively as well as when things are going tremendously well!
The children have decided that for great behaviour treats, they would like extra playtime and that
special badges will be given for great behaviour, amazing effort, wonderful helping and marvellous
manners. I think that these are excellent suggestions!
The newly formed Year 2 School Council would like all of our families – children and parents alike –
to enter a competition to design on paper a badge for these special occasions. The Y2SC have
said that they would like a ‘rosette’ style badge, which looks ‘really fancy’ and ‘special’…but easy
enough to be made. If you would like to enter, please send in your designs with your child’s name
and class on the piece of paper. From the entries, the Y2SC will choose the 2 winners whose
designs will be made into special badges for each class. Please join in the fun. Thank you!
Headlice
Please check your child’s hair every week for headlice. If your child has headlice, please ensure
that they are treated. If you are not sure how to treat this complaint, please ask a member of staff
who can help you or ask your local pharmacist. No-one wants headlice so please be part of the
solution by regularly checking your child’s hair and taking action where needed.
New signing in arrangements
Please note that all visitor on site will now be required to wear a lanyard and no longer the school
badge. Please follow the required procedures which will be explained to you when you first come to
sign in. Thank you.
Healthy Living Policy
Please may I remind that children are not to have sweets at school. When it is a child’s birthday, we
will not give out sweets nor will this be permitted on school premises. Likewise with birthday
cakes/treats. Thank you.
The Council is consulting on a range of road safety measures in Kingston road and Upper

help in the outreach efforts for this consultation.
