As we come to the end of another wonderful school year and prepare to say goodbye to our Year 6 pupils, I would like to take a few moments to say thank you.

Firstly, to our parents and families—thank you for your constant support, encouragement, and partnership throughout your children's journey. Your trust, kindness, and commitment have helped our children grow into the confident, caring, and resilient young people we celebrate today. We couldn't do this without you.

To our dedicated teaching staff and support staff, I offer my heartfelt thanks. Many of you have taught, nurtured, encouraged, and inspired these children over the years. Every lesson taught, every word of encouragement, every challenge overcome, and every act of care has helped shape the wonderful individuals they have become. Your dedication, patience, and commitment make an incredible difference every single day, and we are deeply grateful.

I would also like to thank our governors for their continued guidance, support, and service to our school community. Your commitment helps ensure that our school continues to thrive and provides the very best opportunities for every child.

To all our staff, I wish you a well-deserved and restful summer holiday. Thank you for all your hard work, compassion, and dedication throughout the year. I hope the weeks ahead bring you time to relax, recharge, and enjoy precious moments with your family and friends.

And finally, to our Year 6 pupils: we are so proud of each and every one of you. As you begin the next exciting chapter of your lives, take with you the friendships you've made, the lessons you've learned, and the values you've lived each day. Be kind, be courageous, work hard, and always believe in yourselves. We know you will achieve wonderful things.

As we part for the summer, may God bless and guide each one of you. May He keep you safe, fill your holidays with joy, laughter, and happy memories, and bring you back refreshed and ready for the adventures that lie ahead.

Thank you, congratulations Year 6, and have a wonderful summer everyone.

Well done to all the children who have worked extremely hard this year, you have been amazing! Very well done to all those who received their awards this morning in assembly! 

The Relic of St Edmund Campion was held in our Church on Thursday 16th July. We went to visit the Relic during the 10.00am Mass.

Our Chaplaincy Team recently enjoyed a wonderful retreat day together today in Aylesford Priory. Blessed with beautiful weather, the day provided a peaceful opportunity to step away from the busyness of school life, deepen their spirituality, and spend time in prayer, reflection, and fellowship. It was a joyful and enriching experience, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day, returning refreshed and inspired in their role of serving our school community. Thank you to the children and to Mrs Smith for all your support.

Our Open Showcase Evening was an excellent opportunity for our families and wider community to come together and celebrate the many highlights and achievements of the year. Our talented Glee Club and Choir gave incredible performances, delighting everyone with their enthusiasm and musical talent. Visitors also enjoyed exploring our classrooms, where each year group proudly showcased the fantastic work they have completed throughout the year. A particular highlight of the evening was the delicious food prepared and served by our Year 6 pupils, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a wonderful celebration of our pupils' hard work, creativity, and success.

After having to postpone Sports Day a fortnight ago, we were luckier with the weather today and able to hold our KS2 Sports Day.  Children really enjoyed moving around the carousel of activities which included the traditional sack, egg and spoon and running races but also included dribbling with a hockey stick, netball shooting even welly throwing, which was a definite favourite.  Year 6 entertained everyone with their singing as we moved from race to race and we finished with the parents' races and a staff race.  It was a very tight contest but well done to Matthew house who were the overall winners, beating Mark by a mere one point.
