Drop-INs

As we finish our first week, children are settling into their new classes and we have been welcoming new reception and nursery pupils. For Years 1-6 we will have the usual informal drop-in for parents/carers after school across three days 16-18th September up to 3.45pm. This is to see the classroom and meet the teacher and ask any questions etc.

CLUBS

We have started work on sorting the Infant Clubs this week and they will be offered and added to your Arbor account early next week. The junior requests close on Monday, so please submit your requests by then. We can then allocate the clubs once all the outcomes of the sports' trials are known.

This includes a parenting programme that will be taught in Turkish.

Secondary Admissions 

Year 6 parents (and Year 5) should take note of upcoming meetings and events to support you in the process of applying for secondary schools. Enfield has now published the Guide for Admissions in 2026 (current Year 6) and schools have published their open day/evening events. Please visit our page on Secondary Admissions 

Mr Kelsey-Hatton will again run a meeting for parents to outline the process and share important information about getting your application right. This will be on Tuesday, 23rd September at 5pm in the Junior Hall. Year 5 parents are welcome to join to start thinking ahead. 

School Shop

The new active t-shirts and hoodies have been very popular and we are low or sold out on many sizes now. Given the high response, we will place another order, which should be with us in the next few weeks. In order to keep the price low for parents, we have to make a sizeable order to get the best price from the supplier. 

A reminder that the active items we are selling are not compulsory, as any coloured t-shirt is fine, as are those from the uniform suppliers. The black tops are no longer part of our Active Uniform, so if the children need something warmer on top of their PE kit then they can wear their royal blue school sweatshirt, cardigan or the new active hoodie. A plain royal blue hoodie is also fine. 

20mph in Enfield 

A message from the Council

Enfield Council is proposing to introduce 20mph speed limits on residential streets and roads in town centres - part of our wider plan to make the borough safer, cleaner and greener for everyone. Speed was a contributing factor to 61% of recorded injury-related collisions in Enfield over the past 5 years. Evidence shows that lower speed limits reduces the number of accidents and makes everyone feel safer in their local areas.

We want your views on our 20mph proposals. Your feedback will help shape how we roll out these changes to benefit the whole community. Find out more and take the survey at https://letstalk.enfield.gov.uk/20mph by Sunday 21 September 2025.

Welcome 

School opened this morning for Year 1 to 6 and it was lovely to see the children returning and ready for their new classes. First days can always be a mixture of feelings and for some children, they will need a bit more care and attention as they settle back into routine. 

Sadly 44 pupils were missing today, which will mean they are more likley to have a challenging start when they do return. Research shows that those missing in the first week often go on to have poor attendance throughout the year. 

Term Date postcards are coming home today or tomorrow. These outline the dates for the rest of the year. You can register absence via the Arbor app/portal. You will also receive this week the official letter reminding you about the use of fixed-term penalties for unauthorised absence. This is sent to all parents with parental responsibility. 

Staffing

We outlined the changes to some of the staffing last term. Mr Bonner has joined the leadership team for this year, leading across Years 3/4. We also have a new SENCo who is Mr Humphries (full time) who will join Mrs Houlihan (4 days) to oversee and support SEND. There is a list of key people on our Contact Us page 

Uniform 

The vast majority of pupils have returned in the correct uniform as we start the new policy in full this term. You will recall that we have simplified our uniform, reduced the number of branded items and extended our school shop to sell items at low cost. Details can be found here 

You can order online from the school shop via your Arbor app. There have been some technical issues which we hope have now been resolved. 

For this week, we will have uniform for sale in the Infant Hall between 3.10pm and 4pm if you want to come and collect pre-ordered items or buy directly. You can of course buy from the high street or other uniform suppliers and these can be found here. 

Arbor 

Arbor is the app/portal we use to share your child's information and where you can report absence and make payments for clubs and trips etc. If you are new to Raglan or your child has just moved to the Junior School, you will need to register. Details can be found on our Arbor Page. A reminder to Year 3 pupils/parents that the junior school is officially a different school and you will need to register again on the app for The Raglan Junior School. 

Welcome Back

As we approach the end of the school holidays, we are making preparations to welcome the children back on Tuesday 2nd September. For those children in our Nursery and Reception classes, you will have your own start date as the children have a staggered start to their new classes. 

Opening Times

These remain the same with doors opening at 08:40 and closing at 08:50 when the register starts. 

The end of the day is 15:10 for Infants and 15:20 for Juniors. 

All children will enter school by themselves on Tuesday. There will be plenty of staff to help and assist where needed. 

Term Dates

These can be found on our website for the academic year 2025-2026. You will also receive a term dates postcard next week when school starts. Click here for term dates

Uniform 

Our updated uniform policy will be implemented in full from next week. The simplified policy can be found on our website here. 

Our school shop on Arbor has been extended and now includes sweatshirts, cardigans, active t-shirts and active hoodies. There also additional items available. If you order over the next few days, you can collect on Monday 1st Septmber from the Infant Hall between 1pm and 4pm. Or you can drop in and purchase any items at this time. 

There is no PE on Tuesday next week. Year groups will advise you on your PE days in due course.

Lunch Menu

School lunches will be available from Tuesday 2nd Septmber starting with the WEEK 2 Menu, which can be found on our lunchtime page
