In a week of rain our May Day celebrations had the sun shining for us.  Although the cold and wind prevented us from dancing outside, the children put on a performance full of warm smiles.

Thank you to those parents and carers who have sent their children in with healthy packed lunches as part of our updated Food Policy.

As a reminder, crisps should only be included in packed lunches on a Friday. This decision was taken as part of our Food ChampionProgramme and an awareness from the British Heart Foundation that eating one packet of crisps per day can add up to drinking 5 litres of cooking oil per year!

We are open today - Friday 2nd MarchShould the weather suddenly change we may have to close early. 
We will not have a morning break and a shorter lunch. Please send your children wrapped up warm, trousers/joggy bottoms with school uniform. Plenty of layers.

Should the weather change later today, parents can collect their children earlier should they wish.
Thank you for your support.

I am sorry to say we have made the decision to close the school today.
I don't make this decision lightly as I know how important it is for children to be in school and for parents to be able to get to work.But I have looked at the forecast and it is predicting further snow and temperatures between -6 and -8 degrees. If we managed to get some staff and children in my worry is we might not be able toget everyone home safely. It boils down to keeping everyone safe.
I have been in communication with other Headteachers and school staff since 5am this morning and a number are reporting heavy snow and difficult road conditions.

Its a tough decision to make. Take care, wrap up warm

There was a spelling workshop for parents on Wednesday 7th February. Where Mrs Wiles told parents about how children acquire spelling knowledge and she shared tips, games and ideas to help make spelling fun.

We were delighted to have some winners in the Tenterden Rotary Club Writing competition.
