Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
NSPCC Number Day
On Thursday 1st February, we held a 'Number Day' in support of the NSPCC.
It was great to see pupils dressing up with numbers and participating in maths investigations during the day.
As a school, we raised £211.50 so thank you to all our families and community for supporting this.
We Love School!
Today in our weekly Celebration Assembly, we celebrated attendance!
Congratulations to all of our pupils who had attendance over 97% but especially those who achieved 100% attendance in the Spring Term.
All our pupils who achieved 100% have now received their bronze 100% attendance badge which they may wear as part of their uniform, together with their certificate.
We also had the termly draw from those achieving 100% to see who won the voucher in Early Years and the bicycles in Years 1 and 2, Years 3 and 4 and Years 5 and 6.
The winners were:
Nursery - Salma
Reception - Aaron

Years 3 and 4 - Connor
Years 5 and 6 - Mikhail
Summer Reading Challenge 2023
This Summer, many pupils from our school showed a love of reading by participating in a reading challenge at the local library.
Pupils were asked to read 6 books over the summer.
Today, Esther and Alexandra shared their certificates with us.
Well done to all who showed their love of reading during the holidays!
We would like to remind all parents and carers that school will reopen from Wednesday 6th September this week. You may have read in the news of some schools that are affected by having reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in buildings, so we would like to confirm that this is not present on our site.
Children in Years 1 - 6 will return on Wednesday 6th September, whilst Reception pupils begin school full time on Monday 11th September. Finally we look forward to welcoming our new Nursery pupils on Wednesday 13th September.
We would ask all parents and carers to bring pupils on time as the Nursery morning session starts at 8:30am, with the gate being closed at 8:40am, whilst all other classroom doors open at 8:50am and are closed at 9am. Please consider walking or scooting/cycling to school rather than driving. If you do have to drive to school, please remember to behave in a considerate manner towards our neighbours. The school street remains in place from the roundabout to the main school gates on Redford Close for the safety of all.
All pupils will be entitled to a free school lunch from September so please take a look at the menu which can be found at https://www.edwardpauling.hounslow.sch.uk/school-lunches/ - we are a nut free school so please do not send any foods containing nuts into school. We also do not allow pupils to bring sweets or fizzy drinks, however your child is welcome to bring in a water bottle from home which can be refilled at school if needed.
We would ask parents and carers to label ALL items of clothing as well as book bags, lunchboxes and water bottles so they can be located easily.
We can't wait to see everyone and are looking forward to seeing holiday homework!

Staff v Pupils Annual Football Match
Yesterday, the annual Staff v Pupil football match took place. The game was pretty much tied, with both teams scoring 4 goals each. In the end, it was the staff who were victorious this year, who won on penalties.
The Year 6 team all played with such enthusiasm and sportsmanship, and worked together thinking about how they could get the goals they needed. All players should be very proud of themselves and we are sure that they will continue to represent their new schools at sporting events.
We look forward to the game next year!
Year 6 Production of Peter Pan
Year 6 have worked incredibly hard since the May half term to put on a performance of Peter Pan. Each and every child took responsibility of learning the songs and their lines to ensure it ran smoothly. All characters performed to the best of their ability and their hard work most definitely paid off! Not to forget our wonderful behind the scenes crew, who not only organised themselves maturely but did not miss a single cue; they were consistently on time for the lights and sound as well as setting up the scenery for every change.
It is only fair to sing the praises of the children that sang a solo, which we know took great courage to do so in front of a large audience. But nonetheless, performing on a stage in front of the whole school and parents and carers was a huge thing for our pupils to do and we could not be prouder! Thank you for your support in providing costumes for your child and an extra special thank you to those who offered and lent out props or add ons, we really appreciate it.
Over the last four weeks, we have been so pleased to share a range of different stories with pupils and parents at the end of the day every Friday.
Thank you to all the teachers who have brought these different stories to life: Mrs Evans and Mrs Doyle, Mr Jones, Mr Cooper and Mrs Ona, and Mr Chambers.
Remember to join us in the school hall at the end of the day every Friday for more exciting stories!
Today, Edward Pauling took a deep dive into all things Star Wars and Harry Potter in celebration of both films ties to London.
Pupils had the opportunity to share their favourite films and to share why it is their favourite with others.
Last week, the pupils who have jobs around the school at lunchtimes as part of the Meaningful Work Programme, had their termly treat. We celebrated their contribution to the life of the school with cake and crisps which was enjoyed by all!
As we do every term, two pupils, who have shown a particular dedication to carrying out their roles, were awarded the Employee of the Month Award. Congratulations to Kristopher and Teegan who also got to celebrate their achievement in our Friday celebration assembly.
Thank you to Mrs Osmond for organising the Meaningful Work Programme as well as the termly treat!
