Attendance and Punctuality

Well done to the following classes for the highest attendance: 

KS1: Daisy

Lunch Hall Top Table

This term, our 'Top Table' focus will be to celebrate this term's value of 'acheivement'. A huge congratulations to the following children who were chosen to be at the Top Table today as a result of their various different achievements this week. ​

Pedal Bikes Wanted

In the Early Years, we want to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn to ride a pedal bike. Cycling is a great way to keep children active while supporting their physical development and mental health and can also lead to longer-term benefits for the environment! ​If your child has recently grown out of their pedal bike, we would appreciate it if you would consider donating it to our reception and nursery classes. We are looking for size 14", 16" and 18" bikes which are reasonably light weight and in a good condition. All bikes donated will be inspected and serviced to ensure that they are safe for the children to ride. Please email me at s.quested@brookfield.camden.sch.uk if you are able to help.

Music News

A message from Julia: 

"A huge well done to all the children who performed at the Camden Schools Music Festival at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday evening. You were an absolute credit to the school and you should be very proud of yourselves. It was something special! Thank you to Laura, Phoebe and Father Damien for generously giving up their time to accompany the children on the trip. Thank you also to the parents and carers for all their support, particularly those who accompanied us on the trips."

Green Dragons Den

Well done to Kiana, Eva, Flora, Hushiar and Seanna for presenting so confidently about the secret garden project at the Green Dragons Den today. The Dragons included the mayor of Camden and local councillors. We have been told we have definitely won some money for the project, but will find out the full amount in a few weeks.

Lost Property

The lost property is mounting up. It remains very hard to reunite property with its owner when it doesn't have a name in it. Lost property items are placed into wicker baskets on each floor. This is usually the best place to look if your child has misplaced an item.

Personal Information

Have you moved recently, or changed your phone number? Please remember to let the office know as soon as possible of any changes to your address or contact information, as it is very important that we have the right contact details for every child. You can email admin@brookfield.camden.sch.uk with any changes

URGENTLY NEEDED - NEW PTA Co-Chairs!

Please consider becoming a co-chair next year.

IF NO-ONE COMES FORWARD THERE WILL NOT BE A PTA NEXT YEAR!

As I’m sure you are aware school budgets are becoming more & more stretched. The PTA helps to fund lot of the extra activities that enrich your children’s education.

Last year we gave the school over £28,000. The money we raise goes towards lots of extra activities such as drumming, FAB art projects (this year it was Damien & B-Better Dance), Forest school, etc. We also give money to fund new books for the school, trips, free fruit for the juniors at playtime as well as many more things.

Without a PTA your children will also miss out on all the events we help organise such as the disco, quiz night, school fairs, bake sales, etc.

Don’t worry if you think the role is too much for you. It is shared between two people, so have a chat amongst your children’s classes or on your WhatsApp groups if you think there is anyone who will join with you.

We will also still be around if you need help and support. Now is a good time as we will have plenty of time do a handover.

If you want to find out more, please email us at brookfieldschoolpta@gmail.com we are very happy to meet and have a chat about what the role entails. Thank you.

The Mayor of London's Clean Air Day challenge 2023

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is calling on young Londoners to lead the way in celebrating  clean and healthy air for everyone this Clean Air Day.

The Mayor is looking for new poster designs about what clean air means to you, to showcase why clean air is so important for our city, and celebrate the steps we are all taking to lead the way on cleaner air for all Londoners.

He is now inviting London school children aged 4 to 14 to create designs, with the chance to have them featured as part of this year’s Clean Air Day celebration with posters featured on advertising across London or the Mayor of London’s social media channels.
