More information about the Christmas events will follow.


Christmas cards

The children may bring in Christmas cards to be posted in our school post-box from Monday 4 December. To help our volunteer posties, please make sure that the addressee's full name and class is written on each envelope.


Winter Wonderland

Thank you to the FOSPS for all their hard work preparing for the Winter Wonderland event and to the choir for singing so well. It was certainly a well-attended event.

Please don't forget to scroll down to the bottom to read the latest FOSPS newsletter for more information about all the exciting events that lie ahead!


Oranges for Christingle

Please let the school office know if you are able to donate the oranges for our Christingles. We are all very much looking forward to these special services on the 18th December. 


The Children’s Society

This is an amazing charity supporting and empowering children and young people and this year we have set up a special events page so that your Christingle donations can be made online at St Paul's CE Primary School | The Children's Society (childrenssociety.org.uk) 


Consultation on changes to the School's Admissions Policy from September 2025

Please read more about the consultation by clicking here. Your views on the proposed changes are encouraged and can be emailed to office@st-pauls.enfield.sch.uk. Please mark your email as: Consultation on Admissions 2025.


Attendance Reporting on Parent Portal

We've been advised that the bug in syncing the data from our MIS and Parent Portal has now been fixed, so attendance should now be correct on the Parent Portal. If you have any queries, please email the office at office@st-pauls.enfield.sch.uk. Thank you for bearing with us whilst this was being resolved.


School Street

We are really struggling to cover the School Street on Wednesday morning and Thursday all day. If we do not have any more volunteers it will mean the street will not be able to be closed on these days. This is a decision we really don’t want to make due to the safety of the children and the environmental impact on the local area. We will review the situation at the end of the Autumn term.

If you are able to volunteer on either of the above days please let Mr Crouch know by the 15 December alvincrouch@st-pauls.enfield.sch.uk. We are happy for children of parents who cover the school street to wait in the office area during this time.


Maternity Leave

Congratulations to Miss Poplar who is expecting her second child in Spring 2024.

She will start her maternity leave after the February half term.


Wrap Up London!

Thank you very much for all the warm winter coats donated in the past couple of weeks! Wrap Up London is a fantastic initiative we are really proud to be a part of, providing pre-loved coats to those in need. If you would still like to donate please bring your coat/s into school by Thursday the 30th of November. Please remember that donated coats must be clean and in good condition!
