Newsletter 4 - 5th June 2026

Before the half-term break, you received a letter with all the details for Sports Day, which will be held on Friday 19th June at the YMCA Hawker Centre field. You can read the letter here.  

Nursery will have their Sports Day a week earlier on Friday 12th June and it will be held in school. Miss Evans has shared the details on the Google Classroom.

On Friday 19th June, events for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will take place in the morning from 9:20 am – 12:00 pm and events for children in Years 3 to 6 will run in the afternoon from 12:40 – 3:00 pm. We hope you will join us to cheer on your children and enjoy a whole school picnic lunch from 12:00 - 12:40 pm. All children will need a packed lunch on the day and should wear school PE kit with a t-shirt representing their Fern Hill House colour.

If your child is in Years 3 to 6, please complete this short form to let us know whether we will be dismissing your child directly to you at the Hawker Centre or from school. Please note that children will NOT be permitted to walk home alone from the Hawker Centre. 

The E-Waste Race is on!

Fern Hill is currently 4th out of all the participating schools in the borough and we are very keen to collect as much as we can and win the prize worth up to £1,500! We are collecting until Thursday 12th June so please do bring in anything you have a home next week. 

Fern Hill has signed up to the E-Waste Race, a school-based environmental competition designed to increase the collection and responsible recycling of small electrical and electronic waste (WEEE). It combines environmental education, community engagement, and circular economy awareness with a time-limited competition between schools.

If you have any small broken or unwanted electrical items at home, please drop them in our E-Waste recycling bin in the school main reception area. We are collecting small household electronics and appliances, electrical toys, cables and chargers, keyboards and computer accessories. Thank you to our Eco-Committee who will be sorting and logging everything you bring in. 

Happy World Bicycle Day!

To celebrate Bike Week and encourage people to have fun discovering new local routes, Kingston Cycling Campaign and Full Cycle Community Bike Project are inviting residents of all ages to join our next free family-friendly ride on Sunday 14th June.

Starting from Latchmere Recreation Ground, this gentle-paced 6.5-mile ride will explore some of North Kingston's cycle-friendly routes, from the Thames towpath to Richmond Park. Designed for all ages and cycling abilities, the ride is a great way to build confidence, meet new people and discover local routes in a relaxed and supportive environment.

With marshals keeping everyone safe, Full Cycle volunteers will also be providing free Dr Bike-style TLC before and after the ride, while Friends of Latchmere Recreation Ground will be offering bike security marking.
