Welcome
Thank you for choosing our school. We are really proud to be part of the Kingsfield community and we hope that you are too. During the feedback from Ofsted (2021), the lead inspector told both the senior leadership team and members of the Trust that when asked, our children said the best thing about school is the teachers. We aim to always work together to ensure children have access to the best possible education.
Please click here to read our welcome letter June 2021. Our welcome presentation will be uploaded at the start of July. You will also be sent a letter stating the name of your child's class teacher and the sessions they will be invited to attend in September prior to their full time start at school on 8th September 2021.
If you require any of the starter pack to be printed for free, please contact the school office who will happy to support this request.

Universal Free School Meals
Every child from Reception through to the end of Year 2 is entitled to a 'universal infant free school meal'. This means that they can have a hot dinner daily for free and is not reliant on parental income. It is not mandatory but we really do encourage you to take up the offer.
Pupil Premium
The Government awards each school an additional amount of funding based on the level of children receiving free school meals (FSM). These differ to the ones above and are linked to a child's individual circumstances. Please read the following posters from Cambridgeshire Local Authority (LA) for more information. Should you think that your child is eligible for FSM, please contact the school office who will be happy to help with your application. On most occasions, FSM can be done automatically without the need for an application.
