Dear Parent / Carer
Introduction of Cashless Payment System
I am writing in response to your request for information
for Parents/Carers who cannot access the Internet or who
do not have a debit/credit card.
Having spoken to the Local Authority their advice is
that parents use a PayPoint card, and this can be
obtained from the school office free of charge. The card
can then be topped up at any convenient store that
offers the service. A full list of local stores can be
found at
www.paypoint.co.uk/locator.htm but the
nearest stores to our school are:
Co-op
Bush Hill Park
3-7 Leighton Road
Enfield EN1 1XH |
|
Budgens
70-72 Lancaster Road
Enfield EN2 0BX |
| |
|
|
Co-op
Lancaster Road
102-104 Lancaster Road
Enfield EN2 0JW |
|
Co-op
Lavender Hill
120a Lavender Hill
Enfield EN2 0QU
|
The first card will be
provided free of charge but replacement cards will incur
a charge of £2.00. Please also note that replacement
payment cards can take up to two weeks to arrive,
although we will endeavour to help parents/carers make
payments during this time.
If you wish for your daughter to be provided with an
initial PayPoint card, please contact the school office
on 020 8363 3030 (Upper School) or 020 8363 9934 (Lower
School) and register the students name and form to
activate the service.
Yours sincerely

Dear Parent / Carer
Cashless Payment System Up-date
Further to my initial letter of June 2010 I am writing
to inform you that arrangements for the introduction of
the Cashless Payment System for school meals are
progressing well. We therefore expect to be on target to
go cashless as from September although for the first
few days cash will be necessary until parental passwords
are issued and accounts set up.
We are now at the stage where the biometric templates
are being recorded by the London Borough of Enfields
Education Catering Service. This will be on-going over
the next few days and in September for any absentees,
year 12 returners and the new Year 7 students.
It has been reassuring to hear from parents of Year 6
students, during our recent induction days, that their
experiences of the cashless system at primary school
have been very positive. We therefore hope that all will
go well in September over the transitional period.
In the meantime I wish you and your family a restful and
enjoyable summer break.
Yours sincerely

Enfield Science and Technology Challenge
I am writing to firstly congratulate you again on the
achievement of your daughters project entry at the
Enfield Science and Technology Challenge earlier on this
half term and secondly to offer more information about
displaying this project at the Big Bang Fair in London
on Tuesday 13 July 2010.
Following the success of Enfield Countys entries at the
Enfield Science Challenge we have been invited to
display our entries at the Big Bang Fair held at the
Westminster Kingsway College.
The Big Bang aims to excite, educate, stimulate and
enthuse young people about opportunities in Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics,(STEM) inspiring
them to follow careers in this rewarding field. It is
led by Engineering and developed in partnership with The
British Science Association and Young Engineers with
support from over 70 organisations from business and
industry, government and the STEM community.
The focus of the day is on directly engaging pupils with
STEM through hands-on activities, exciting
demonstrations and inspiring interaction. As well as
displays from industry and universities there will be
presentations of science and engineering projects
created by London pupils.
The pupils will need to attend school in full school
uniform on the day and come to reception at the Upper
School for 8.30am. They will not need to pay for this
visit, so please do not carry large amounts of money or
anything else valuable. The pupils should also bring
drinks and a packed lunch with them for the day as we
will not be able to purchase anything to eat on site.
The pupils will return to the Upper School, Holly Walk,
at around 4.30pm.
This is a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to
represent their school and showcase their projects and I
hope that they will thoroughly enjoy and be inspired by
this trip.
Yours sincerely

Year 8 Profile for Academic Year 2009/10
We are pleased to enclose your daughters Profile for
Year 8, so that we can track a students progress more
closely, the current attainment level that has been
awarded has been divided into three as explained below:
a indicates that a student is working well within the
level and is on the threshold of achieving the next
level up.
b indicates a student is working safely within the level
c indicates that a student is just working within the
level
The National Curriculum standards have been designed so
that a typical student will move up one level every
two years. This means that by the end of Key Stage 3
(end of Year 9) any student who has achieved Level 5 or
6 has therefore reached the standard of the typical
student mentioned above. Year 9 students who have
reached or exceeded Level 7 are performing exceptionally
for their age. Please bear in mind when you look at
your daughters levels that she is still currently only
in Year 8 and the target levels mentioned above are for
Year 9.
Effort Levels
1 }
2 } 1 being the highest and 4 being the lowest
3 }
4 }
Targets or areas for improvement Targets or areas for
improvement have also been included to support your
daughter in the best way forward for each individual
subject.
Pastoral Comment The Profile includes a comment by
your daughters Form Tutor alongside her attendance and
punctuality record for the year. Research has
demonstrated the clear link between consistent effort
and good attendance through all of the school years and
success in examinations.
Please would you sign and complete the slip below
acknowledging receipt of your daughters profile. If you
have any points that you wish to raise about your

Dear Parent / Carer
Sports Day Monday 5 July 2010 at Lea Valley Athletics
Stadium
I am writing to inform you about the arrangements for
our annual Sports Day which as last year will be taking
place Lee Valley Athletics Stadium, Picketts Lock Lane,
Edmonton N9 0AS.
Arrangements for the day are as follows:
Students make their own way directly to the stadium
for 8.30am registration
The Stadium can be accessed by the W8 bus which
terminates at the venue however we would encourage
Parents/Carers to drop off and pick up their daughters
(perhaps car share) as much as possible as there is
ample car parking directly outside the stadium
Students to travel in suitable non uniform for sitting
on the grass unless competing in which case they must
wear school PE kit (Years 7, 8, 9 and 10) year 12
students who are competing should wear appropriate
sports clothing without large logos
Students will be dismissed from the stadium to go home
at the end of the last race. This dismissal will be
staggered from any time after 12.30pm depending on the
timing of the last race
Students are asked not to bring any valuables as they
cannot be collected in
There will be no refreshments available for sale at
the stadium and so students are advised to bring snacks
with them and plenty to drink in case it is a hot day
The PE Department would encourage all competitors and
spectators to bring sun tan cream with them (this may be
best arranged with friends as it is costly), a plain
hat/cap and waterproofs/umbrellas and something
waterproof to sit on
Registers will also be taken at the end of the day
before students are dismissed
Parents are welcome to attend but please remember that
there will be no seating although there is plenty of
space on the grass banks around the stadium.
Unfortunately due to the nature of the event we are
unable to accommodate unaccompanied young people
Sports Day has always been such a pleasant occasion and
is one of those few times when Upper and Lower Schools
come together. Last year we spent a pleasant morning at
what was then a new venue for us but a much superior one
in terms of facilities and accommodation for both. I
therefore look forward to seeing you there.
Thanking you in advance for your co-operation.

Dear Parent / Carer
Introduction of Cashless Payment System
I am writing to inform you that the Council has been
implementing a cashless payment system in Enfield
schools and our school will be taking part in this
initiative from 2 September 2010. There are several
advantages to this system such as students will no
longer need to bring cash into school to pay for lunch
and Free School Meal students will not be identified to
others as they will access their meals in exactly the
same way as paying students. May I also reassure you
that the systems used by the council are totally secure
with regard to any information stored and the staff
using the information are fully checked at the Criminal
Records Bureau for their suitability to work with
children.
Your daughters photo and biometric reading
identification will be recorded onto the system to be
used by the schools caterer (London Borough of Enfields
Education Catering Service). Please note that this is
not a fingerprint image but a subset of the unique
features of the thumb which are extracted from a scanned
image and converted into a biometric template, like a
barcode. This template is checked against a template
generated each time a student places their thumb on the
scanner to purchase their school mean.
Parents will use the internet to access their own
ParentPay account. This means that you will:-
Use a credit card or debit card to pay for school
meals in one transaction for the children that you have
at Enfield County School. This will be done by logging
on to an on-line payments system called ParentPay, which
can be found at www.parentpay.com
using your personal ID
(to be issued in July), which is password protected.
ParentPay have a Demo available that you can look at now
to get used to the system before it goes live at
Enfield County.
No longer have to send cash into school to pay for
your childs school meals
Be informed of the minimum payment amount recommended
which will be £10
You will be able to log-on to
www.parentpay.com
and
view your daughters meal choice.
For parents who cannot access the Internet or do not
have a debit or credit card, please contact Paul Wilmot,
Bursar on 020 8363 3030 for alternative arrangements.
NB: for parents of children eligible for free school
meals, you will:-
Have a ParentPay account and the Council will credit
the account each day with the cash value for a free
school meal
Be able to top up the ParentPay account in the same
way as everyone else if you wish to provide additional
money for snacks and drinks
This is an initial letter to raise awareness that
Enfield County will be starting this cashless payment
system in September and so we will be writing again with
further details. Also, we would hope that other payments
to the school e.g. school trips can also be paid for via
ParentPay and so avoid the need for our students to
bring money into school at all.
In the meantime, we have attached a FAQ form which we
hope will answer any concerns you might have and would
ask that you take the opportunity to go online to
ParentPay and look at their self explanation parental
demo.
Yours sincerely

Dear Parent / Carer
Study Leave for Year 10 Examinations
As you are aware there are three GCSE Science exams this
month. The first of these is the Biology Unit which is
tomorrow (Wednesday 9th June, pm). The second is
Chemistry (Wednesday 16th June, am) and the last is
Physics (Thursday 24th June, pm).
It is usual for girls to be dismissed from school at the
end of public exams. Therefore on the 9th and 24th June
students will be dismissed after 2.00pm.
We have asked students to go straight home and not to
remain in town. If you would like your daughter to

I wish your daughter every success.

Dear Parent / Carer
I am writing to inform you that we will soon be rolling
over our timetable. This will mean that our girls will
become Year 8 and will begin their Year 8 courses on 14
June 2010.
This will be the fifth year that we have rolled over
our timetable in June rather than in September and we
have seen very real benefits in doing so. Firstly, the
additional curriculum time that is spent on GCSE
coursework has been extremely valuable and has raised
the achievement of all of our students in KS4. We
believe that our Year 9 students are ready to begin
studying for their GCSE options in June after all of the
Key Stage 3 assessment has taken place.
Secondly, being a split site school, our upper school
site is vacated by our Year 11 and Year 13 students and
it therefore makes sense to rebalance our students,
leaving Rosemary Avenue a more spacious and comfortable
environment during the hot Summer weeks. Lastly, in
September, our students resume programmes of study
immediately being settled and fully aware of the demands
and requirements of their courses.
Year 7 seems to have flown by and I find myself now
looking forward to taking the girls into Year 8 within a
matter of weeks! In this time I have seen the girls grow
and mature both academically and socially. They are a
bright and able year group and have worked very hard.
As you are aware towards the end of May we are visiting
Legoland and then in September we have our residential
visit for the whole year group to Kingswood Centre,
Ashford. I look forward to all these events and
continuing to build on the success of Year 7 when the
students enter Year 8.
Yours sincerely

Dear Parent / Carer
I am writing to inform you that we will soon be rolling
over our timetable. This will mean that our girls will
become Year 9 and will begin their Year 9 courses on 14
June 2010.
This will be the fifth year that we have rolled over
our timetable in June rather than in September and we
have seen very real benefits in doing so. Firstly, the
additional curriculum time that is spent on GCSE

September, our students resume programmes of study
immediately being settled and fully aware of the demands

When Year 8 become Year 9 in June they will be the top
Year Group at Rosemary Avenue. There will be a lot of
new opportunities for our girls to look forward to in
the coming year including our Paris trip, their role as
prefects and peer mentors as well as being positive role
models for the new Year 7s who arrive in September.
Year 9 is also the year where the girls are required to
begin thinking about options for GCSEs and I am
confident that all the hard work already done will stand
them in good stead for the future.
The time has flown by over the last 2 years and I am
sure that you will agree that the girls have developed
tremendously both academically and socially and they are
blossoming into beautiful young women with great
potential. I look forward to working with you and
building on the success of this excellent Year group.
Yours sincerely

Dear Parent / Carer
I am writing to inform you that we will soon be rolling
over our timetable. This will mean that our girls will
move up to Holly Walk to begin their Year 10 GCSE
courses on 14 June 2010.
This will be the fifth year that we have rolled over
our timetable in June rather than in September and we
have seen very real benefits in doing so. Firstly, the
additional curriculum time that is spent on GCSE
coursework has been extremely valuable and has raised
the achievement of all of our students in KS4. We
believe that our Year 9 students are ready to begin
studying for their GCSE options in June after all of the
Key Stage 3 assessment has taken place.
Secondly, being a split site school, our upper school
site is vacated by our Year 11, and Year 13 students and
it therefore makes sense to rebalance our students,
leaving Rosemary Avenue a more spacious and comfortable
environment during the hot Summer weeks. Lastly, in
September, our students resume programmes of study
immediately being settled and fully aware of the demands
and requirements of their courses.
Year 9 will therefore be embarking on their GCSE courses
on 14 June 2010 at Holly Walk. We are confident that
this early start will give our students a super
opportunity to gain the good grades in their GCSEs that
they deserve. They are a bright and able year group and
I very much look forward to working with them and
yourselves during this next and very important stage in
your daughters education.
Meanwhile, our students have a busy last few weeks in
Year 9. They will be involved in 2 days of exciting
skills based project work that will challenge and
develop them further as well as the reward of an end of
Key Stage 3 visit to Thorpe Park on Friday 11 June 2010.

Dear Parent / Carer
I am writing to inform you that we will soon be rolling
over our timetable. This will mean that our girls will
become Year 11 and will begin their Year 11 courses on
14 June 2010.
This will be the fifth year that we have rolled over
our timetable in June rather than in September and we
have seen very real benefits in doing so. Firstly, the
additional curriculum time that is spent on GCSE
coursework has been extremely valuable and has raised
the achievement of all of our students in KS4. We
believe that our Year 10 students are ready to begin
studying for their GCSE options in June after all of the
Key Stage 3 assessment has taken place.
Secondly, being a split site school, our upper school
site is vacated by our Year 11 and Year 13 students and
it therefore makes sense to rebalance our students,
leaving Rosemary Avenue a more spacious and comfortable
environment during the hot Summer weeks. Lastly, in
September, our students resume programmes of study
immediately being settled and fully aware of the demands
and requirements of their courses.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for
the support your daughter has been given whilst
embarking on their GCSE subjects in Year 10. The next
stage is crucial to the academic development of your
child. From our experience many pupils find even the
thought of beginning Year 11 quite stressful because of
the implications from their exam results. I would,
therefore, encourage you to ensure that your daughter
has a dedicated place of study at home and that you
encourage open communication; where she takes
responsibility for telling you what her workload is like
as we progress through the year. This is an opportunity
for you to discuss with your daughter the significance
of good study habits and the necessity of meeting
coursework deadlines.
Even though we now begin Year 11 in June we only have
two full terms to complete the GCSE curriculum. You are
also aware that your daughter will complete a two week
work experience placement in September so it is vital
that attendance remains high priority as well as good
organisation.
I look forward to continuing to work with you in
enabling your daughters success. Always feel free to
contact me to discuss your daughters progress or
individual needs.
Yours sincerely

GCSE Geography Fieldwork and Controlled Assessment
As this letter finds you, your daughter will be working
hard, revising towards her summer examinations. The
1-hour exam for Geography, on the 14 June, covering the
physical Geography topics, is worth 25% towards the
final grade attained. As such, revision should now be in
full swing, with students producing revision cards and
practicing questions and exercises from her textbook.
However, as the Summer Term continues, our attention
switches towards the Human elements of the course, and
to the Controlled Assessment based upon compulsory
fieldwork. You will recall my previous letter about our
intention to prepare for the Controlled Assessment, and
to complete the compulsory fieldwork at the Juniper Hall
Field Study Centre, in Surrey from Friday 15 October
until Sunday 17 October inclusive. I have set out a
payment schedule below.
|
Date |
Payment due |
|
24 May |
£25 |
|
21 June |
£25 |
|
19 July |

As a result of the visit,
students will collect high quality data, specific to the
research question set by Edexcel, and be fully briefed
as to its significance, including its presentation and
analysis. Students will then use this work in the high
control series of lessons upon our return. You are
reminded that Edexcel limits teacher input into these
lessons. The importance of this field visit is therefore
clear. Several of the high control lessons, during which
students will produce their actual Controlled Assessment
task, will be spent at the Central Enfield CLC.
I would be grateful if you could sign and return the
reply slip attached, via your daughter, to Mr Smith /
Mrs Gredal as soon as possible. Please enclose the first
payment of £25.00 (a cheque is preferred, made payable
to Enfield County School). Please write your daughters
name and GCSE Geography Juniper Hall on the back of
the cheque or enclose a cash payment. Please put either
payment with the permission slip in a clearly labelled
envelope. If you have any concerns in relation to the
field work assessment please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Year10 survey Spring 2010, GCSE Science in Year 11
In Year 10 all students at Enfield County are following
the AQA GCSE Science B course. When your daughter has
completed her GCSE exams in June (see below for the
dates of each examination) she will be starting a second
GCSE course in Science.
Year 10 examination dates:
| Biology |
9
June 2010 |
| Chemistry |
16
June 2010 |
| Physics |
24
June 2010 |
We would like to know what
your daughter would prefer to study for this second GCSE
in Science. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee
that we will be able to offer the preferred course.
Please read through the options below and choose
ONE option that describes the course that your
daughter thinks would suit her the best.
If she is thinking of continuing to study Sciences at
A level then select A Additional Science.
A GCSE Additional Science this includes more
units in Biology, Chemistry and Physics and would give
students a second GCSE award in Science. The course
prepares students to study any of the Sciences at A
level and the internal assessment part of this course
will contribute 25% towards the overall grade.
If you are not considering studying Sciences
at A level then select A or B
B GCSE Additional Applied Science this is a
much more vocational course and would give a second GCSE
award in Science. It covers content such as food,
forensics and sport. This course would not
prepare a student to study any of the A level Sciences.
The internal assessment part of this course will
contribute 60% towards the overall grade.
Therefore a strong commitment to independent study and
self-motivation are essential.
Please complete the slip below and return it to your
Science teacher by Friday 30 April 2010. If you have any
concerns in relation to the above please do not hesitate
to contact me on 020 8363 3030.

Dear Parent / Carer
Year 7 visit to Legoland
It will soon be time for our annual visit to Legoland.
In order that the day proceeds with as few problems as
possible we would be grateful if you would note the
following points.
Students will need to dress appropriately (not school
uniform). Legoland is on an exposed site with limited
indoor entertainment. Check the likely weather
conditions on the day and ensure comfortable shoes /
trainers are worn.
We would advise that students do not bring expensive
equipment or a lot of money, as staff cannot take
responsibility for such items. Most of the activities in
Legoland are included in the entry ticket, so girls will
only need money for drinks, ice cream, souvenirs etc.
£10 would be quite sufficient.
We understand that for your own peace of mind you may
prefer your daughter to have a mobile phone. The school
has no objection to this but you must accept that we can
take no responsibility whatsoever if the phone is lost,
damaged or stolen during the trip.
Students should arrive at school at the normal time for
registration. The coaches will leave for Legoland at
9.00am.
We anticipate returning at approximately 4.30 p.m. but
please note that this time may vary depending on the
traffic conditions on the M4 / M25. The coaches will
drop off at a convenient and safe point near to the Hop
Poles Public House in Lancaster Road. Coaches will not
go into Rosemary Avenue.
A packed lunch will be required and those students who
are entitled to free school dinners will have a packed
lunch supplied by the school.
Although students will be able to explore the park in
groups of friends, staff will be on duty at strategic
points around the park and Legoland staff will have a
mobile number to contact us should any problems arise.
All girls must return to the park entrance by 2.50 p.m.
at the latest. NB if the coach is delayed leaving
the park then the coach company may charge an additional
fee, which will be passed on to the latecomers.
If you have any concerns in relation to the above visit
to Legoland, please do not hesitate to contact us on 020
8363 9934.

Meals students will be provided with a packed lunch.

ticket and coach fare. Under the terms of the 1988
Education Act schools are only allowed to ask for a
voluntary payment towards extra curricular activities.
