Today we were visited by Kent Music, who performed their Music Roadshow to the children. They put on a brilliant show and played lots of familiar songs as well as introducing the children to different ways of making sound - as you can see from the photographs below.

Our Early Years and Key Stage 1 classes had a very special visitor today. We hope you enjoy seeing these pictures from the day.

It was wonderful to be able to once again invite parents and carers to watch our whole school nativity at St Thomas' Church this year. All of the children were absolutely amazing.

Pupils returned to school on Monday to see Christmas displays up around the school, with each display telling a part of the Christmas story. We hope you enjoy seeing the photos of these wonderful displays!

Today, Friday 18th November, we are having a non-uniform day to raise money for BBC Children In Need. Children are invited to wear their own clothes in return for a £1 donation. 
 

This year we will be unable to accept donations of cash, however you can make a donation via ParentMail which goes straight to the charity. 
 

Many thanks for your support. 

An additional bank holiday has been announced in honour of the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. Therefore the school will be closed on this day, Monday 8th May 2023.

We started this term with a whole school Languages Day, with pupils dressed in the colours of a flag or their choice of traditional clothes.  A huge thank you to parents who came in to help, contributing mini language lessons, stories, poetry, music, food, crafts and dance.  There was a joyful, party atmosphere, with all children participating in the Languages Treasure hunt for flags and answers to questions dotted around the school.
