Residents and Local Community

At Wallace Fields Junior School, we value our strong relationship with local residents and are committed to working together for the benefit of both the school and the wider community. We welcome feedback, ideas and opportunities to strengthen our links with local people.

Our community partnerships include residents sharing their expertise with pupils, supporting environmental projects and attending school events such as our Christmas and Summer Fairs. We are always pleased to hear from local residents who would like to volunteer or contribute to school life.

Residents' Liaison Group

We hold regular meetings with local road representatives to discuss matters affecting the school and surrounding area, including parking, traffic and local developments. The group focuses on community-wide issues and helps maintain positive communication between residents and the school. Please note that the Residents’ Liaison Group is not for parents of children in our school – the PTA is the group they should join.

If you would like to raise a local issue or become involved, please contact the school office or your road representative.

Communication

We work hard to minimise our impact on the local area and regularly remind families about considerate parking, road safety and reducing vehicle idling.

School news and key dates are available through our fortnightly newsletter and on the school website, helping residents stay informed about events that may affect the local area. 

If you are affected, by local issues linked to the school please contact your representative on the residents’ liaison group and we will attempt to investigate and find a solution to your issue.

Supporting Our Community

The school actively supports a range of local and national charities and is proud to play an active role within the Epsom community. We also welcome requests to promote local non-profit groups through our school newsletter.

Wallace Fields Junior School actively support many charities including:

  • Save the Children
  • the Epsom Hospital Equipment Fund
  • the Red Nose appeal
  • Comic/ Sport Relief
  • the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal
  • Age Concern UK 
  • and many others. 

Useful links for local community organisations

Defibrillator

A public-access defibrillator is available from the school office during school opening hours.

Football and Lettings

The school allows our fields to be used by a local football group and to reduce parking congestion we turn the school playground into a car park. However, there are other football groups (not linked to our school) who play at Alexandra Park. Whilst we are keen to help reduce congestion by opening the playground for parking, people are allowed to park legally in local roads as they please. We try to alleviate parking as best we can. 

Thank You

We are grateful for the continued support, cooperation and understanding of our neighbours and look forward to working together to maintain a positive and thriving local community.
