Dame Janet is a good school for everyone.
Our provision and our focus on personal development and welfare is outstanding. Supportive and skilled staff nurture and develop children to find what they are excellent at - whether it’s in the classroom, on the sports field, or as an artist.

What a great day year 3 and year 4 had at Margate beach! They caught the train; played on the beach; visited the Turner Contemporary and even found time for an ice-cream. Here’s the first round of photos but more will follow once the iPads are in 😎 Sorry for your sandy showers and baths tonight! 😜

Family Learning, together with Kent Libraries, is offering a free “Have Fun Reading” workshop designed to help parents and carers support their children’s reading in a relaxed and engaging way. This workshop is perfect for families who want to build confidence in reading together and discover enjoyable ways to support literacy at home. It’s a great way to encourage a love of reading in young children while connecting with others in the community. Please find attached a poster for more information, which also contains a QR code for pre-booking onto the course. It is essential to book a place by Friday 30th May.

Our ‘mini police cadets’ had an interesting time at Margate police station this afternoon. They had the chance to see many areas of the police station and explore the work of different staff members from Kent Police. The children chose to lock Mrs Sherwin in the police van first and happily let her get handcuffed. More photos will follow of the children once we receive them 👮 👮♀️

This week we are learning to sign 'Good morning'. Can you help your children practice signing 'Good morning' to friends on the school run? 🤩 This week is Deaf Awareness week, the link below will take you to some helpful videos which teach children how to approach and gain the attention of a hearing impaired person. https://www.ndcs.org.uk/get-involved/become-more-deaf-aware/early-years-deaf-awareness-videos/

Last term, Curie class had a wonderful time at Royal Harbour Academy in Ramsgate. Royal Harbour welcomed us into their cooking rooms and helped the children to make a healthy meal. It was lovely for the children to have the opportunity to cook independently and develop their cookery skills. More photos can be found on Facebook. #damejanetprimaryacademy

😞 Hopefully you will have noticed some of our new no parking signs. Sadly, a parent has run over one of these signs in their car - a stark reminder of why they are there - to protect a child's life. Please, please, please do not park on paths , zigzags or double yellow lines. Please use one of the many side roads. 😟
