Our mini Police cadets were delighted to receive their certificates from PCSO Williams. Over the 9 week course the cadets learnt first aid, found out about the impact of Hate crime, the role of the Police and had a visit to Margate Police station, where they got to try on uniform and see the Police vans up close! Congratulations to all who took part, we are very proud of you! 🤩

What a busy day for the staff! 📝 We have enjoyed a joint TKAT East/Weald training day with Salmestone, Drapers, Northdown, Newlands, Pluckley and Smarden, hosted at Dame Janet. Staff have been working together to consider and learn more about: Early Years, adaptive teaching, SEND, science, writing, backwards fading and many more…

Our sign of the week is 'line up', a phrase we use often in school so it shouldn't take the children long to learn!
