Message for year 6 parents - Dear Year 6 families, our Year 6 SATS tests will start at 9am daily next week.  Please can we ask that all Year 6 children arrive at 8am so that the can settle into class ready for their day and have breakfast (if they wish). We look forward to seeing the children at 8am Monday morning. 

Message for year 2 parents - I am excited to share that, as part of our final thematic topic, 'Wonderful World', we have arranged a fantastic trip for Year 2 to Wildwood in Canterbury! This visit is scheduled for 10th June, and we would love your support in making this experience memorable for our children.

Wildwood is a renowned animal conservation charity dedicated to helping local wildlife and educating the public about the importance of preserving natural habitats. During our visit, the children will participate in a special habitats workshop, perfectly aligned with our Term 6 topic. They will explore various habitats, including forests, deserts, grasslands, and caverns, and learn how animals adapt to survive in these environments.

The workshop will provide hands-on experiences, where our students will engage in roleplay to understand which animals inhabit specific habitats and why they are perfectly suited to their surroundings. In addition, they will have the opportunity to put on their detective hats and match real animal artefacts with their authentic habitats, allowing for an intriguing exploration of animal adaptations.

To ensure that all children can participate, we kindly ask for a contribution of £16.95 to cover the costs of the trip.  As part of our safety measures, we will require parent volunteers to accompany us on this exciting day. If you are available and willing to join us, please let us know.

Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you for your continued support. We’re looking forward to an enriching and enjoyable trip!
