Headteacher Introduction
October 2024
Dear Parents,
I have pleasure in enclosing our first newsletter of the new academic year!
I hope you have all settled back into familiar routines and that the children are enjoying their new year groups, classrooms and getting to know their new teachers. A special welcome to our new Reception children and families to the Southfield community!
As always the term has been an exciting, busy and dynamic one with so much to celebrate. Our brilliant Year 6 attended the Isle of Wight for their annual Residential Visit for a week in September and had a brilliant time. I would like to thank Mr Waine for his assiduous organisation and all staff who so freely gave up their time to accompany the children on this special trip.
The generosity of spirit of our Southfield community was once again in action during our Harvest Festival where so many donations were received for Ealing foodbank. The charity are enormously grateful. Also we discovered in our Southfield historical archives a photo of a Harvest Assembly in the Kipling Hall from 1979 - the year I was born! The building and hall looked very similar! How wonderful it is to think of our school and its rich history since 1906!
Headteacher Introduction
Our TRUE values were displayed in earnest with our popular and annual Charities Week where children learnt about their charities and completed stunning work on displays in the school Halls. It was wonderful to see so many parents supporting the week in the Charities sale . We raised £1,069.65 for all charities and the individual totals are recorded below:
Our Diversity celebrations focused this year on disability and the paralympic games in Paris. Children produced some moving and considered work in this area and was a joy to see. We have been accredited the prestigious International School Award by the British Council for our work on diversity and internationalism and we are excited to receive this accolade.
School visits to contextualise our curriculum have taken place with Year 6 visiting the exquisite Palace of Westminster looking around both the House of Commons and the House of Lords learning about how democracy works in the UK, whilst Year 4 has visited the Foundling Museum to explore their topic on the Victorians further. Year 5, who have been studying Buddhism, have visited the Vihara in Chiswick. Year 2 learnt about the wonderful work of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) whilst visiting Chiswick Lifeboat Station during Charities Week and Year 4 finished the half term with their Ancient Greece History Day and it was very exciting indeed to see the excellent costumes!
Our school sporting competitions have been very successful this term in both boys football and netball. Our teams are doing extremely well in competing against other Ealing schools. You will read about the teams’ successes and medals!!!
I hope you enjoy reading about all the many wonderful things going at the school this half term and wish you a happy half term break.

Contextualised Curriculum
Our Contextualised Curriculum continues to provide children with a deeper understanding of why we learn the things we do, helping to embed knowledge into their long-term memory. By linking learning to real-world experiences, our curriculum ensures that lessons resonate with the children in a meaningful way. This half term, our pupils have been on exciting field trips and taken part in engaging workshops, which have brought their learning to life and sparked a true passion for the subjects they're studying.
In Year 1, pupils were delighted to meet Upton, a guide dog who visited the school to show the children firsthand the vital work and rigorous training guide dogs undergo to support those with visual impairments. This experience tied in beautifully with their PSHE and Science learning about animals with jobs and how humans care for them.
Year 2 enjoyed a thrilling trip to the local Chiswick Lifeboat Station, where they received a tailored tour of the lifeboats and met real lifeguards who shared stories of their work keeping our community safe. This visit helped solidify their understanding of how lifeguards save lives, tying into their Geography and PSHE topics on water safety and community services.
Year 3 had a visit from Dogs Trust, where they learned about the importance of rescuing and rehoming dogs in need. The children were captivated by the stories shared and used this knowledge to further enrich their Science and Literacy lessons focused on animals and persuasive writing.
Year 4 had a packed schedule, visiting the Foundling Museum to link with their novel study of Street Child, a story of a deprived child in Victorian England. This visit gave the children deeper insight into historical hardships faced by vulnerable children. They also participated in an immersive history workshop where they dressed as ancient Greeks and engaged in hands-on activities, connecting with their History lessons on ancient civilisations.
In Year 5, pupils visited the local Buddhist Vihara, where they meditated with monks and explored the principles of mindfulness, peace, and compassion. This experience brought their RE lessons on Buddhism to life, offering a reflective and personal insight into spiritual practices.
Year 6 capped off their learning with an unforgettable trip to the Houses of Parliament, where they explored the chambers and learned about how laws are made and debated. This linked directly to their studies in Citizenship and British Values, giving them a real-world understanding of how democracy works and the role of government.
These enriching experiences have been instrumental in making learning more memorable, engaging, and deeply connected to the world around us. They help our children not only learn facts but also develop a broader understanding of their community, history, and the world, ensuring that their knowledge stays with them for years to come.
CharitiesWeek
Charities Week is always a highlight of the autumn term, and this year was no exception! Our children from Reception to Year 6 spent the week learning about incredible causes and the amazing work being done to combat adversity around the world. This year, the children focused on the inspiring efforts of Water Aid, Guide Dogs, the RNLI, Dogs Trust, Barnardo's, the RSPCA, and Age UK.
To bring their learning to life, several exciting trips took place. Year 4 visited the Foundling Museum, learning about the history of child welfare, while Year 2 had a special visit to our local Chiswick Lifeboat Station, where they received a tailored tour of the lifeboats that help protect our community.
Throughout the week, the children produced amazing outcomes across various subjects. They wrote fact files, persuasive letters, and nonchronological reports in their extended writing. In Real Life Maths and Maths Through Story, they created soup kitchen recipes and even engaged in code-breaking orienteering! Creative Writing sessions were also inspired by picture books related to the work of these charities, allowing the children to engage with these important causes on a deeper level.
To cap off this exciting week of learning and joy, the children crafted beautiful handmade items to sell at our annual Charities Sale. All three of our halls were buzzing with parents proudly supporting their children's hard work, raising money for these vital causes through a stunning display of creativity and compassion.
Harvest Festival
We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Harvest Festival was once again a wonderful success, showcasing the strength and generosity of our incredible community! We received an impressive number of donations, all of which will go directly towards supporting the wider community in need.
Our celebrations began with a heartwarming assembly where Dr. Jones spoke deeply about our TRUE values of empathy and unity, reminding us all of the importance of coming together to help those in need. The children sang a beautiful new harvest song with great enthusiasm, filling the room with joy and togetherness.
To highlight the rich tradition of Harvest at Southfield, we shared photographs from our school’s Harvest assembly in the 1970s, allowing our children to see the lasting power of this wonderful celebration. To finish, our fantastic School Pantry team recreated that very same photo, bridging the generations and reminding us of the importance of tradition.
Thank you to everyone who contributed and made this Harvest Festival such a memorable and meaningful event!

SchoolRadio
We are delighted to announce the upcoming launch of our very own school radio! After a lot of planning, the installation of the equipment is complete, and the pupils have already started working hard behind the scenes. The school radio project was introduced during a special assembly, where pupils learned about the exciting possibilities of creating their own radio shows.
Over the past few weeks, pupils have been honing their skills in scriptwriting, production, and voice work. They have been busy creating and refining their scripts, brainstorming creative show ideas, and even practicing their presenting skills in anticipation of going live.
The anticipation is growing as we approach the official launch of the radio, and our pupils cant wait to share their hard work with the entire school community. The project has been a fantastic opportunity for them to develop their communication, creativity, and teamwork skills in a fun and innovative way.
We are incredibly proud of the effort and creativity that has gone into this project, and we’re confident it will become a cherished part of school life for years to come.
Diversity Celebrations
Our diversity celebrations this term were a truly inspiring event, filled with appreciation for each other's differences and a strong sense of unity. Building on our work around the Olympics and Paralympics, which was part of our newly accredited International Award, the children explored different disabilities in depth, fostering a deeper understanding and respect for all abilities.
The celebrations began with a moving assembly led by Mr. Waine, where children shared their own reflections on diversity. Their words showcased deep empathy, respect, and a genuine sense of unity, leaving everyone feeling incredibly proud. Mr. Waine also read from the heartwarming picture book Mama’s Car, a touching story told from the perspective of a child whose mum uses a wheelchair, showing how his life is shaped by her experience.
Following the assembly, children across the school engaged with a series of inspiring picture books centered on different disabilities and real-life stories, using them as a creative spark for their own powerful writing pieces. It was a truly enriching celebration, reinforcing the importance of understanding, empathy, and celebrating our differences.
SportsClubs
cricket
This half term, Mr. Koch has been running an exciting array of sports clubs after school that have truly captured the enthusiasm of our pupils! The Year 5 and 6 boys’ football team is showing remarkable teamwork and skill, while the younger Year 3 and 4 boys are developing their talents and confidence on the field.
Our Year 5 and 6 girls’ football squad is equally impressive, demonstrating determination and camaraderie, and our girls’ netball club has been a hit, fostering both fitness and friendship. It's wonderful to see the children not only enjoying these activities but also making significant progress in their skills and sportsmanship. Mr. Koch’s passion for coaching is evident, and the positive impact on our young athletes is inspiring!
Over the half term, our teams have had the opportunity to showcase their talents in two competitions, and the results have been outstanding! The Year 5 and 6 boys' football team participated in a competitive tournament where they demonstrated their hard work and teamwork, ultimately earning a well-deserved bronze medal. Their effort and spirit were commendable, and they came away with a sense of pride in their achievement. Meanwhile, our Year 5/6 mixed netball team also made their mark by advancing to the quarter-finals in a thrilling competition. The excitement on the court was palpable, and each player contributed to our team's success with determination and skill. These experiences not only highlight our pupils' athletic abilities but also reinforce the values of teamwork and perseverance that is evident throughout the school. It’s clear that our sports clubs are fostering a winning spirit and bringing our community closer together!
Enterprise Team
We are thrilled to announce this year’s Enterprise Team after an incredibly competitive selection process. The calibre of applicants was extremely high, making the decision difficult, but after a long day of interviews, with Dr Jones and Miss McGreal, following their application forms, we are delighted to introduce Milei and Ruben as our new Head Girl and Head Boy, and Joanna and Emiliano as Deputy Head Girl and Boy. All four children were ecstatic to be appointed and have taken their roles very seriously from day one.
Already, they’ve been busy leading parent tours, and by the end of the term, they will have helped show around 300 prospective parents! In addition to guiding the tours, Milei and Ruben made their public speaking debut, delivering speeches to groups of 60 parents at a time with confidence and poise.
Alongside these fantastic four, we also appointed our new House Captains, who are leading the charge in the House Point competition. They proudly received their badges during a special Headteacher’s Assembly and are already setting a great example for their peers.
Congratulations to all of our newly appointed leaders! We’re excited to see the incredible work they’ll do this year.

International Award
We are thrilled to announce that our school has been awarded the prestigious International School Award for 2024 – 2027! This achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire community in fostering an international outlook. Over the past year, our pupils engaged in a variety of enriching activities that explored global perspectives. From each year group studying a European country and examining education around the world, to our vibrant Eisteddfod festival and geography exhibition, our children showcased their learning in remarkable ways. Year 5 partnered with a school in Australia, exchanging emails to deepen their understanding of the culture. Our Healthy Mind, Body, and Spirit week introduced pupils to diverse activities like capoeira and tai chi, while the Olympic Games festival allowed them to celebrate global unity through sports. Finally, during International Peace Week, pupils shared heartfelt peace messages in their home languages during a special assembly. This award is a testament to the creativity and commitment of our pupils and staff, and we look forward to continuing our journey of internationalism together!
Lunchtime Clubs
Our lunchtime clubs provide children with a wonderful opportunity to explore new interests and build skills beyond the regular curriculum. Each year, our dedicated staff team offers a variety of clubs, adding excitement and variety to the children’s week. A snippet of this year’s lineup includes:
Construction Club: A hands-on club where children explore building with different materials, fostering creativity and engineering skills.
Craft Club: Here, young artists enjoy creating with paper, paint, and various materials, designing their own masterpieces to take home.
Bookmaking Club: Here, our young authors practice the art of storyboard design, thinking about engaging captions, captivating stories and beautiful illustration.
Lego Club: Perfect for our builders and thinkers, where children collaborate on themed builds, creating worlds and stories from imagination.
Calligraphy Club: Children learn the art of beautiful writing, practicing lettering and designs to take pride in their new skills.
Mindfulness Club: A peaceful space where pupils practice breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and explore ways to stay calm and focused.
School Newspaper: Young writers and reporters collaborate to create our very own school newspaper, honing their storytelling and journalism skills.
Badminton Club: For our sports enthusiasts, this club offers a fun introduction to badminton, where children improve coordination and agility.
Choir: Our talented singers come together to learn songs and harmonies, preparing for performances and sharing their passion for music.
These clubs are a highlight for the children, who love developing new skills and sharing what they've learned with friends, making lunchtime a fun and enriching part of their school day.
Year6IsleofWight Residential
Our Year 6 residential to PGL Little Canada on the Isle of Wight is always a highlight of the year, and this September’s trip was no exception! For many of the children, it’s the longest they’ve ever been away from home, but they truly embraced the experience, coming back full of pride for the fears they faced and the personal growth they achieved. It was a week filled with adventure, new challenges, and a growing sense of independence.
We were lucky to have the most wonderful weather, which made our outdoor activities even more enjoyable. The children tackled a range of exciting activities, including abseiling, rock climbing, Jacob’s Ladder, survival skills, archery, buggy building, and many more. While there were certainly moments where some felt nervous or worried, the pride and joy they felt when they conquered those fears was unforgettable. The smiles on their faces as they achieved something they never thought possible will stay with us for a long time.
The week was also a chance for the children to bond with one another, with new friendships blossoming and old ones strengthening. Our dedicated staff team gave up their time to ensure the children were safe, supported, and having the best time possible. The PGL staff took great care of us, ensuring we were well-fed and looked after throughout the week.
The children returned home exhausted but beaming with pride, transformed by the experience. They have not only grown in independence but have also developed a sense of achievement and joy that will carry them into their next adventures as they continue to mature into young adults.

School Building
Our beautiful school building, which dates back to 1906, is always evolving, and we’re delighted to share some of the latest updates. The Kipling Floor, home to our Year 1 and 2 classes, has had a fantastic revamp, with freshly painted classrooms and brand-new blinds installed in all four rooms. Year 2 now also has its own dedicated cloakroom space, which the children take great pride in keeping clean and tidy, thanks to their hardworking monitors!
Additionally, over the summer, we installed new, energy-efficient lights across our Coleridge and Wordsworth floors. These dimmable lights not only help us become more environmentally friendly but also create a more flexible, learner-friendly environment for our classrooms. The work on our building is ongoing, and we’re excited to share more progress in the future!
EYFS
Reception
Autumn 1 in Reception was filled with lots of work through engaging and fun activities around our topic of All About Me. Over the first couple of weeks, we got to know each other through structured indoor and outdoor learning activities that involve the children sharing and working together to solve puzzles, construct and cooperate. Alongside this, we have been enjoying whole class learning together on the carpet. In our Phonics lessons we have been learning our set 1 letter sounds and applying them through sound blending, tracing and initial sound related illustrations. In Literacy lessons, we continue to explore our topic through shared big books as a class.
As part of our charities week, we have been talking about the importance of water. We looked at some of the different ways we use water (drinking, cleaning our teeth, flushing the toilet), and why else water is important.
We learned that not everyone has everything they need to live happily and healthily, and so charities help others. Talking as a class about what we can do to help save water, we then learned about Water Aid and how they help in countries which may not have clean water or proper toilets. We talked about what happens if we do not have clean water and we read the story The Water Princess to enhance our understanding.
Reception
We decided to create fish keyrings to fit alongside our WaterAid charity. We talked about the importance of clean water even for animals and especially for humans.
In Maths we have been counting forwards and backwards to a range of different songs and dances. We have been learning about sorting, as well as recognising and creating patterns.
Some of Reception have been enjoying lunchtime clubs such as Arts and Crafts and Construction. In Arts and Crafts, we have been making bracelets, bookmarks and even coasters for our mummy’s and daddy’s. In Construction club we have been using the building blocks to create a variety of structures.
We have looked at which structures are more durable, and which fall over more easily.
The Year 6 pupils have been coming to read with Reception and it has been very enjoyable. All the children are designated a buddy, which they all now know, and both year 6’s and the reception pupils are very excited when them come to read. The reception children’s social skills and confidence is growing, with many confident enough to choose a book themselves
Key Stage 1
Year 1
We are so impressed with how everyone has been settling into Year One. Our routines have been established and everyone is fully aware of the expectations and rules of the school. The children are sitting beautifully, they move sensibly around the school and line up quickly and quietly. They have also managed to learn our fantastic school song.
In our classes we are all feeling extremely proud of what we have achieved so far. We have learnt lots of new sounds in phonics. This has helped us with our Creative Writing and English work. In English we have been studying the lovely story, Peace at Last. As I’m sure the children will have told you, it is a story about Mr Bear who can’t find a comfy, quiet place to sleep. We have used this story to write a diary entry, a character and setting description and a letter to name a few. In Maths, we have been working on our knowledge of number and place value. We have now started on our addition and subtraction skills and looking at different methods to solve number problems.
As the classes are finding their confidence and individuality at school, it is important to discuss diversity. We celebrated just this with a special Creative Write session where we considered what makes us unique and if differences in our abilities should impact how we treat others. This has tied into our science topic of the 5 senses. In Geography we have learnt all about map making and what makes a successful map. Our learning about spatial sense has allowed us to make more sense of the world around us.
Year 1
The week of the 7th October was Charities Week. We loved learning about Guide Dogs and how amazing and clever dogs can be! Did you know it takes two years of training for a puppy to become a working guide dog? We all had a lot of fun getting sticky decorating our biscuits and were so excited to meet Upton, a real-life Guide Dog. We asked lots of questions to Upton’s owner and even learned that Guide Dogs do not chase squirrels when they have their working harness on!
Year 2
What a fantastic start to Year Two we have had! The children have settled in wonderfully and are already producing impressive work from the very first week. The Queen's Nose, our new novel study at Southfield, has truly captivated their imaginations, and we've been writing some exceptional letters, postcards and setting descriptions. In Maths, we reinforced our understanding of place value before tackling more complex addition and subtraction across ten. Children have been looking at their column methods for the first time and have been excited to push their mathematic thinking.
We also enjoyed our trip, revisiting the Buddhist Vihara, a unique cultural gem right on our doorstep. The children listened attentively to stories about the life of Buddha and learned how to embody the principles of Buddhism, contextualising our R.E. day, where we delved into the core beliefs of the faith.
In our Maths Through Story lessons, children have been loving the revamped lessons, bring Maths to life in a new way. So far, they have been creating shapes, which they bought and sold for Southfield Pounds and touring the school grounds in their first ever orienteering lesson, using a map of the school, which they previously had seen in our Geography lessons this term.
To top it all off, we celebrated our annual charity week. In Year Two, we focused on the incredible work of the R.N.L.I. who keep our waters safe. We were lucky enough to visit our local Chiswick Lifeboat Station, where the children were reminded about water safety as well as being given a tour of the lifeboats that help protect our community. The children enthusiastically designed and built floating boats, which many were hopefully able to test at home! It has been an eventful and exciting half term, and we can’t wait to see what the next one brings!
Key Stage 2
Year 3
Year 3 have had an incredible half term and have settled into the juniors seamlessly! The children have been thriving in their new lessons in Real Life Maths and Latin. In Real Life Maths, they've engaged in exciting explorations of weight and capacity while assisting Mr. Zuckermann in feeding his farm animals. Meanwhile, Latin has captured everyone's enthusiasm, with pupils flourishing as they learn this new language, while actively completing Vocabulous at home.
So far this half term, we have been very busy producing wonderful work for some important themed weeks. For Charities week, we did some important work for The Dogs Trust, beginning with a workshop, where we discussed how to behave safely around dogs. Our pupils then got to work producing some impressive outcomes for dog themed lessons in Real Life Maths, Creative Writing and English. The week concluded with an impressive fundraising sale where our artists and designers raised £146.50, producing some polished clay dog bowls!
Year 4
This half term in English, we have been reading the novel Street Child. Set in Victorian England, it follows Jim Jarvis a young orphan living an extremely tough life in 1860s London. We have used the novel to inspire our writing in a variety of ways: creating diary entries, letters, and articles. We alsl visited the Foundling Museum which enhanced our understanding of what life was like for young people like Jim. As Jim is eventually taken in and cared for by Dr. Thomas Barnardo, we were inspired to pick Barnardo’s as our chosen charity for Charities Week. We enjoyed creating bars of soap to sell at the Charities Fair and raised a total of £181.75 in aid of Barnardo’s!
In Maths, we've recognised the value of each digital four-digit number; ordering and comparing numbers beyond 1000; counting in multiples of 1000 and finding numbers which are 1000 more or less than a given number. We also learnt how to accurately add and subtract fourdigit numbers, using a range of strategies. Throughout all of these, we have been applying our knowledge to solve a range of both numerical and reasoning problems.
This half term in Science, we have examined the human body, in particular, the importance of a healthy diet. We were fascinated to find out more about our body and explored this from a variety of angles, learning about the process of digestion, looking at the importance of minerals and vitamins and looking at how to maintain good dental hygiene. We particularly enjoyed an experiment when we used eggs to show how teeth would react to different drinks.
Year 4
In Geography, we have explored the notion of spatial sense, examining our local area and utilising four-figure grid references to identify locations on a map, as well as predicting how our area might change as population increases in the future.
In History, we’ve been learning about Ancient Greece, gaining understanding about the concept and significance of city-states such as Athens and Sparta, their inherent differences, important battles like those of Marathon and Thermopylae, who Alexander the Great was, and how he built such a vast empire. We’ve also enjoyed learning about the Greek Gods and look forward to extending our knowledge next term.
Year 5
This half term, Year 5 have loved reading ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ by C.S Lewis.. We have developed our narrative storytelling, characterisation and technical English skills by drafting numerous genres of writing – such as a diary entry, third person narrative recount and a newspaper report. In Maths, we have learnt to order and compare numbers up to 1,000,000 and solve place value word problems and reasoning questions and we started manipulating fractions. For Real Life Maths, we used our budgeting skills to plan a holiday with a friend and we then presented our dream holidays to the class.
For History, we have learnt about the Golden Age of Baghdad in 900 CE and its impact on modern society – including our number system, algebra and alchemy. In Science, we have been learning about the human body, in particular the changes that occur between birth and old age and the milestones that occur across the stages. During our PSHE day, we discussed what it means to be a refugee and how this differs to being a migrant. Following this, we also discussed the United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child and learnt that as a citizen of this country, we have rights and responsibilities and understood how these may affect our day to day lives.
During Charities Week, we baked delicious dogbiscuit shaped cookies to raise money for the RSPCA (luckily, they were edible for humans!). Finally, in our RE day, we started our study of Buddhism by exploring the story of its origins in present-day Nepal, by Siddhartha Gautama before discussing the 5 Buddhist morals and exploring a local Buddhist Vihara.
Year 5
Year 6
Year 6 have had a jam-packed start to the Autumn term. The majority of the children started the year with the hotly-anticipated trip to the Isle of Wight for our annual residential. They climbed Jacob’s ladder, zip lined across the park and swung over the horizon on the Giant Swing. All in all a brilliant week was had. We dove straight into our novel ‘The Other Side of Truth’ which tells the story of two Nigerian refugee children, stranded in London after the death of their mother. The children were immersed in the novel and love reading it everyday and the outcomes which were produced were superb. Our Diversity celebrations focused on those who have disabilities and we studied and learned about Helen Keller. The children read all about Helen’s life and her message that despite life’s obstacles we can always reach our goals and that the best thing in life are felt with the heart. We also started our foundation curriculum with a journey back to 1914 to World War I. This is always a much loved History unit and this year is no different. The children will be busy over the holidays creating masterpieces for their exhibition next half term to show all their parents what they have been studying. We also managed to squeeze in a trip to the Houses of Parliament which was definitely another highlight of this half term. The children ventured into the House of Lords and as it was Prime Minister’s Questions on the day of our visit, the building was teeming with MPs and news reporters. We also took part in a workshop learning all about how laws are made and who is involved. This year’s Charities Week took place recently with our chosen charity for this year being Age UK. A key aspect of our Personal Growth pillar at Southfield is supporting the community and the vulnerable of society and Age UK was the perfect charity to develop this aspect of us as local, national and global citizens.
Overall, we have had a fantastic year full of new learning experiences and exciting adventures. We can now look forward to a well-deserved summer break before starting Year 6 in September.
Year 6
We read a beautiful picture book called ‘My Nana’s Garden’ in Creative Writing and we looked at the economic impact of retirement and standards of living on the elderly in Real Life Maths. The week culminated in our charity sale where we made bracelets for the elderly members of our families to show how much we love and care for them whilst also raising money and awareness for those who may not have the same love and support. We have loved this half term and can’t wait to see what next half term brings!
