It's been a busy first few weeks back at school, and the children have settled in to their new classes beautifully. Thanks to all who attended the 'Meet the Teacher' events this week. We hope you found them informative and useful.

Reception children will be full time as of next week and their Year 6 buddies are very excited at the prospect of seeing them at lunch time! Class 1 will have their first school photo taken next week, ready for the Kent Messenger.

We've managed to attend two sporting competitions already, and massive well done to those children that took part in the Rawlinson Run or the WOKSSA football tournament. Further details below.

The children have been learning about democracy over the last couple of weeks, and have had the opportunity to cast their vote when electing House Captains and School Council reps. Well done to all the children that put themselves forward and spoke so well. See below for the names of those that were successful!

New Build update: the contractors will be officially 'handing over' the buildings next week, and the majority of the fencing around the newly-laid turf will be removed. We will finally be able to start to see what the finished school looks like!

Harvest Festival

We will be celebrating Harvest Festival on the afternoon of 11th October, where each class will share some work that they have done whilst learning about the significance of this event.

We would thank you for any non-perishable food donations, which will be collected from Monday 7th October and will be delivered to a local foodbank.

School Dinners

Please can we remind parents to let the office know if your child is having packed lunches on any day.    If we haven't had a Choice Form returned to the office it is assumed that your child is having dinner every day and may be charged for this.    Unfortunately, we have a large amount of dinners going to waste where children have been provided with a packed lunch and we are keen to avoid such waste. Thank you.
