School Office Staff 

Mrs Laura Tolliday – Secretary

If it is unavoidable for your child to miss school due to illness, you must telephone or call the office giving the reason for absence by 9:15 am.

Without a valid reason, your child will be given an ‘Unauthorised Absence’ mark in the register.

If you do have to take your child out of school during term time we ask that you email the head teacher with your request.

The Government strongly discourages the taking of holidays during working school time. Any absence means your child is missing valuable learning time.

Recent changes to legislation make it clear that Head Teachers no longer have the discretion to allow up to 10 days in a school year for a family holiday or to agree to extended leave for parents to visit their country of origin.  We are also not able to grant any leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. 

A decision on whether the school will be open cannot usually be made until the site and staffing levels have been assessed. 

Parents can check whether the school is open in several ways:

  • Check the school website which we will update as soon as a decision is made
  • Listen to local radio or check their website 
  • Check Hertfordshire County Council’s school closure website

Lovely words about us

I love seeing the pupils laugh and smile.
Mr Huggins
It’s a privilege to be part of the children’s early education and work with a great team.
Mrs Brown
I have worked at Northfields for nearly 12 years now. and love being part of the whole community. I am lucky that my role at Northfields allows me the opportunity to spend time in each year group, with all the fabulous children and get to know the families across the school.
Mrs Booyse
Creating a nurturing and inspiring ethos is at the heart of everything that we do. Teaching children to develop creative and inquisitive minds sets them up for the future. Seeing those light-bulb moments, no matter how big or small is why I love teaching at Northfields.
