Chestertons Winter Coat Drive

A reminder that we have our Chesterton Winter Coat donation boxes in the atrium to support the charity Calling London who are aiming to keep London’s homeless and most vulnerable warm throughout the winter. We would be grateful if you could donate any used coats and jackets (good condition only please) to support this worthy cause. The boxes will be in the atrium until the Friday 21st November. The items that can be donated are: coats (all styles), ski jackets, gillets and fleeces. They cannot accept thin rainwear, kagouls, and macs. Thank you.

Parents Vs Children Netball and Football Match

After receiving feedback that some children would be unable to attend the Parent vs Child matches on Wednesday, 19th November, we have decided to move the event to the following week, Wednesday, 26th November 2025. As in previous years, it will be up to the parents to organise their own teams. We’re really looking forward to what is always a fun and memorable afternoon. The netball matches will take place at Westerly Ware, and the football matches will be held at Old Deer Park (London Welsh). Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you all on the day!

Trip to the Imperial War Museum

Year 5 are looking forward to their trip to the Imperial War Museum on Monday 17th November. This is an all-day trip, and children will be leaving at 9:15am, so please arrive to school promptly at the normal time. The children will need to wear the full uniform, including hats and coats. Packed lunches will be provided, but the children should bring in a water bottle in their school rucksack. We may visit the shop, (time permitting), so children can bring a maximum of £15 spending money. They will be back at school by approximately 3:30 pm. 

Trip to the Tower of London 

On Thursday 20th November, we are visiting the Tower of London as part of our topic on The Normans.  This is an all-day trip, so please come to school at the normal time, as we will be leaving at 9:10 and travelling by tube. Children are expected to be dressed in the correct winter uniform but can wear their Broomfield House beanies if they have them, as it will be cold! Packed lunches will be provided, but children should bring a water bottle in a hands-free bag – the sport rucksacks work well.  Time permitting, we will visit the gift shop and children can bring a maximum of £10 spending money.  We hope to be back at school by 3:30pm. 

Trip to Natural History Museum 2025

On Friday 21^st November 2025, Year 3 will be visiting the Natural History Museum, where the children will be bringing their learning to life on rocks and fossils. The children will be taking part in an exciting fossils workshop and will then have the opportunity to explore the galleries. The children will be travelling by train with TfL to the museum and back so the children need to arrive promptly at 8.30am on this day to ensure we can leave on time. We will be departing from Kew Gardens station and arriving at South Kensington before taking a short walk to the museum. Children need to be in full school uniform with hats and blazers/winter coats. Please send your child(ren) to school with the red swimming bag for their lunch as it is lighter to carry. A packed lunch will be provided for each child by Chef Nay, but please make sure they bring a water bottle.

TRIP TO RED BEARD FOREST SCHOOL 

Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten are looking forward to their trip on Friday, 21st November to the amazing Red Beard Forest School at Syon Park. The children will depart school at 9am and will return at approximately 12pm. The children should wrap up well with layers of clothing and warm boots/shoes as they will be outside for the entire session. Chef Nay will prepare snacks and the class will be back at school in time for a warm lunch. They will be exploring winter in the great outdoors, woodland crafts and building a campfire.

We’re excited to bring you this year’s Breakfast With Santa event on Friday 5th December!

This year, we are focussing on food, fun, and community — so there will be no external market stalls, but instead a cheerful whole-school breakfast celebration. We will however have a merchandise stand, with our PTA Gin and Water bottles for sale!

*PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN START TIME TO 7.45am*

🥐 Breakfast for all BHS children will be provided by the PTA, and non-BHS siblings are warmly welcome too.
