Music Computers

Coleridge Families has bought new computers for the school. They are the latest Apple Macs and each has software to enable children to experiment with making their own tunes and music.

New Climbing Frame

A new climbing frame and play area appeared over the Summer holidays on the West/Juniors side. Opened in time for the start of the Autumn term, Coleridge Families funds were used to help buy the equipment and judging by its popularity, it is a huge hit.

We were blessed with amazing weather for the summer fair (which, in retrospect, seemed even better given the evening monsoon!), and a great turnout from families and friends. Some children, and quite a few adults, got to show off their skills in the circus skills area. The barbeque, stalls, rides, arts and crafts and art gallery were as popular as ever. Some lucky fair goers were even treated to a massage, or to Mystic Misha reading their fortunes…

Fair-goers were treated to a range of wonderful music – on the stage, in the junior’s hall, and near the entrance. A special mention must go to Golden Time, the teachers’ band. As we’ve always known, Coleridge has got talent!

The school fair has raised an amazing amount – over £13,000. For a breakdown of this figure, see the Revenue Breakdown.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped out.

The main task was to turn a patch of land in Coleridge East into an allotment. Before embarking on this, no-one knew that there was an enormous tree stump in the middle of the proposed allotment site. At one point it seemed as though we would never be able to remove it, but blood, toil, tears and sweat won out in the end!

Laurel bushes were planted to try and fill gaps in the hedge in front of Coleridge West. The plants growing into Crescent Road were given a prune, making life easier for everyone walking along that road.

Reps communicate with their class about events and help to run specified events throughout the year by recruiting parents in their class.

We’re looking for class reps for 2009-10, if you’re interested then email us at

Not only is being a rep invlauable in helping us organise and run Coleridge Families but its also a great way of meeting other parents and socialising with other members of the year.

Drop us an email if you are interested

This is the largest and the main fundraising event of the school year, raising over £8,000 for Coleridge Families. This year’s theme will be.

The event is run by year 3 parents/carers but each class is asked to run a stall at the fair so please volunteer to help out for a short time on the day.  Lots of fabulous food, fun things to do and make, games to play, a variety of stalls and free entertainment!!

There are a number of projects on the East/Infants and West/Juniors sides including:-

• Dig an allotment vegetable patch
