This morning we had our Harvest assembly where we collected donations for the Canterbury Food Bank. We are very grateful to our families for their wonderful generosity and we were able to take a bumper haul to the Warehouse this afternoon. There was so much that we were unable to fit it all into the photo!

Many thanks indeed to all our families!

**********************************************************************************

Given the Prime Minister's announcement last night, I'm pleased to say we will be welcoming all children back to school on Monday 8th March. I will be sending out further information next week. I'm sure that parents and pupils will be relieved that they only have 9 more days (including today) of remote learning. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support and perseverance during these challenging times.

I'm counting down the days until we are all back together as one school family.

Kind regards,

Miss L D'Agostini
Headteacher

In light of the Prime Minister's statement this evening, school will be closed with immediate effect to the majority of children until at least mid-February.

Further information will be sent out tomorrow regarding remote learning and school being open to children of critical workers/vulnerable children, taking effect from Wednesday 6th January.

Kind regards,

Miss L D'Agostini
Headteacher

Our whole school nativity, which normally would take place in our parish church, St. Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Church, this year has been filmed and edited in school. I hope it will bring you joy. The children certainly rose to the challenge in retelling the story of Jesus' birth helping us to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.

Please click here to watch our whole school nativity.

As of today, Wednesday 2nd December 2020, Kent is placed into Tier 3 - very high alert.

Please see attached poster detailing the rules which we all need to follow to keep everyone safe.
