Seesaw
Seesaw is the home learning platform that we are using for home learning and for learning consolidation in school. The Seesaw - Learning from Home - Guide for Families document has information about it.
You should have a class code for your child(ren). They can use this to log into the Seesaw Class app on your devices at home. You can access Seesaw through a web browser (https://app.seesaw.me/#/login), or you might prefer to download the app onto a mobile device. Click “I am a student” to log in.
You also have a family code so you can use the Seesaw Family app to view your child’s journal and if you have more than one child at the school you will be able to see each of their journals through this one account.
Teams
Click here to access Microsoft Teams in any web browser. We recommend that you download the desktop app onto your computer or use the mobile app for the best experience. You can find these downloads here.

Cool Milk
We are not currently having milk delivered to school, but will let families know as soon as we are able to restart this provision.
School Uniform – Big Fish
Here is a reminder of our school uniform policy.
All children are expected to wear school uniform which includes: flat black shoes, a green or white polo shirt, grey or black trousers or skirt (not jeans) and a purple sweatshirt, jumper or cardigan. Children should appear neat and tidy with long hair tied back. Clothing should be appropriate and safe for learning and play. The children are also expected to wear appropriate clothes for Physical Education which includes: trainers, a school/ plain white or green t-shirt, black shorts and black jogging bottoms. Jewelry is generally not permitted in school, students with pierced ears can wear simple studs and must remove them during Physical Education.
We are using Big Fish to supply our uniform. This enables you to order school uniform for delivery to your homes. This is particularly important during this period of Covid-19, when we will be unable to have parents onsite and buying uniform from the office in the normal way. Once we are through the Covid period, Big Fish Schoolwear will make monthly free deliveries to school with all the uniform that parents/carers have ordered, but for the time-being, there will be a charge for home-delivery.
Our dedicated school page is now up and running on the Big Fish web site, https://www.bigfishschoolwear.co.uk/. This will enable you to place and pay for your uniform orders online. To gain access to your school page on the website you will need the following login information:
Username: Fulbourn
Password: PatchworkHorse
If you are in receipt of Free School Meals and therefore entitled to uniform items at no cost, then please contact the office if you have not yet done so. We will arrange for these items to be delivered to your child’s classroom for them to collect.
If you are at all unsure as to which size to order, please don’t hesitate to give Big Fish Schoolwear a call on 0115 970 5762 or email them at sales@bigfishschoolwear.co.uk.
Applying for Free School Meals
The Cambridgeshire County Council has redesigned their online form for families wishing to check their free school meal (FSM) and Pupil Premium eligibility. Significant improvements made to the online application process enable parents/carers (in most cases) to get an instant result of the outcome of their application.
https://cambridgeshire-self.achieveservice.com/service/Apply_for_Education_Welfare_Benefits
It is not necessary for parents of children who currently receive FSM to reapply; this entitlement is protected until the end of March 2022. However, applications do need to be made for younger siblings who are starting school.
The form is quick and simple to complete. Once an application has been submitted for a child, if the family do not qualify at that point, we will continue to check for future entitlement throughout that child’s school life, informing parents if they become eligible. It is vital, therefore, that schools/families inform us of any changes to their name or address.
Families can access the online application at www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals. The Education Welfare Benefits Team are happy to answer any queries and can be contacted on 01223 703200 or ewb.fsm@cambridgeshire.gov.uk.

OFSTED now has an online site where parents are invited to express their views. This way of expressing your views about the school replaces the previous questionnaire issued at inspection time and is always accessible, either to post your views or to see the responses of other parents. We do hope you will click this link and take the time to visit the site and share your opinions.
