Good Behaviour in
the dining hall is rewarded by an invitation to the
Friday afternoon tea party organised by the Deputy Head
Teacher.
A private catering company contracted by the City of
Westminster cooks lunch at school. We offer both
a vegetarian and halal option. If you prefer your
child to have a packed lunch we ask that it is a
balanced meal which doesn’t include sweets or fizzy
drinks.

| Clothing |
|
At All Souls we do not
have a uniform. We ask that children wear clothes in
which they can move easily and which are washable. It is
essential that children wear sensible shoes.
Children need to be dressed appropriately for the
weather as outdoor play is very important part of the
school day.
Jewellery is not allowed except for small earrings.
Chains and bracelets worn for religious reasons are
acceptable. Parents are asked to notify the Head Teacher
of this requirement.
In the Foundation Stage we ask
that parents provide their child with a pair of
wellington boots for rainy outdoor play. We will
provide children with raincoats.
For PE we ask that children wear shorts and a t-shirt.
Jogging bottoms can be worn for outdoor activities and
for religious reasons. Trainers or plimsolls are
needed for outdoor activities.
Please mark all your child’s property
clearly with their name. |

Links |

All
Souls
School
is very
much
part of
the
Fitzrovia
community.
We have
local
volunteers
who come
into
school
to help
children
with
reading
and
playing
educational
games.
Our
children
take
part in
local
community
events
such as
Summer
Fairs
and
Festivals.
We use
visits
to
museums,
galleries,
theatres
and
concert
halls to

our

| Residential
Visits |
|
We arrange a
residential
visit for
the older
children
each year.
We alternate
between
Sayers Croft
Field Centre
in Surrey,
and
Lower
Treginnis,
a farm in
Wales.
As well as
extending
many areas
of the
curriculum,
each trip
provides
children
with the
experience
of being
away from
home and
living in a
different
environment.
Both trips
help
children to
develop
independence
and social
skills as
well as
being lots
of fun!
