Upcoming Events

Join in this term's spooky attendance initiative!

For the last week of term, pupils will be given a Halloween pumpkin to colour in each day when they arrive to school.

All children with 100% attendance for the last week of term will win a small prize.

We are putting together a special assembly again this year to celebrate Harvest with the children in school.

As part of our harvest celebrations we would like to support our local church, All Saint's Church, and their important work within the Canterbury district by giving our donations to their Community Larder. We would be very happy to receive your donations for them in the form of long-life and tinned items.

Please leave these with the school office or send them in with your child on Friday 17th October.

Secondary school applications are now open for Year 6 parents.

The deadline to apply for a secondary school place is 31st October 2025.

All applications must be submitted through the Kent County Council (KCC) website: www.kent.gov.uk/education-and-children/schools/school-places/secondary-school-places 

If you have any questions or need support with the application process, please speak to Class Teacher Mrs Groombridge or contact Miss Fisher or Miss Perry in the school office.

As part of a nationwide health initiative, the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) will take place in our school on Monday, 3rd November 2025 for all children in Year 6.

The NCMP is run annually across England and involves measuring the height and weight of children to help build a national picture of child growth. The information gathered is used to plan better health and leisure services for families and may also be used to offer tailored advice and support to parents about their child’s weight, if needed.

Key Information for Parents:-

• Measurements are carried out by trained healthcare professionals.
• Children are measured fully clothed (without coats and shoes) in a private space, away from other pupils.
• Children do not have to take part if they do not want to on the day, or if they are unable to.
• No results are shared with the school or any other agency – only anonymised data is used.
• Results are sent directly to you, and it is entirely your decision whether to discuss them with your child.

Opting Out
If you do not wish for your child to take part, you can opt out by completing the online form or calling 0300 123 5205 (option 2) by Friday, 19th September 2025.

For more details about the programme and for advice on how to talk to your child about weight, please visit the Kent Family website.

Thank you for your support in this important health initiative.
