Stoughton Infants and Northmead Junior Schools have worked together to undertake a review of our attendance and punctuality policies and procedures.
From the 23rd- 29th April we will be hosting a Scholastic Travelling Book Fair. The commission from sales at the fair allows us to purchase new books for the library and class reading lessons, so every book you buy helps us.
As the spring term comes to an end, it is surprising to note how quickly the chill of winter has passed to the warmth of spring... the only challenge has been the never ending rain in between!
After Easter, for the duration of the Summer Term, we will be changing the arrangements for PE.
Each class will be allocated one full afternoon to enjoy games and athletics on the school field-weather permitting.

Thank you to the NST who have provided every child with a book this Christmas. Owning a book has significant impact on children’s reading. According to a report by the National Literacy Trust, children who own a book of their own at home are six times more likely to read above the expected level for their age.
What a wonderful term we have had at Northmead. As usual, the children have made me immensely proud. There have been lots of opportunities for the children’s talents to be highlighted. They have given magnificent performances in our production and achieved well in music and sporting events, but it is the children’s day to day positive attitudes, enthusiasm and engagement in learning which also deserves recognition.
