Epiphany Mass
Fri 06 Jan 2023Epiphany, also known as Three Kings' Day, is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God in His Son as human in Jesus Christ. It is held on the 12th day after Christmas Day, this year the 6th January, and also marks the arrival of the Three Kings to the stable of Bethlehem.
Our Mass in church today was led by Year 5 and it was wonderful to see so many parents join with the school and the local congregation in celebrating this very special day.

Severe weather update
Wed 07 Dec 2022Severe Snow/Ice Plan for Parents and Families
The Local Authority advises us to send infomration out annually to parents/carers.
‘Schools should, wherever possible, stay open in severe weather. They play a key role in their communities and by staying open help both their pupils and parents.’ –Department for Education
Every winter brings the possibility of snow and ice. Extreme bad weather can cause widespread and prolonged disruption. Schools are often affected and it can be difficult to maintain an education service.
As a fundamental principle every effort must be made to keep a school open, even if only limited numbers of pupils can attend. However, schools may close due to ‘unavoidable’ circumstances. Those circumstances being that it is no longer safe for staff or pupils to be onsite.
Our school will make every effort to prepare for severe snow/ice this winter and the normal expectation should be that the school is open. If we do experience severe weather resulting in hazardous and unsafe conditions, we may have to take the decision to close the school. Once a decision is made to close, we will:
- Post a message on the school website by 6.30am or asap;
- Send a message to parents/pupils via text/email;
- We will update the website regularly to keep parents, staff and pupils informed about arrangements for the following day;
- Where possible we will inform the Kent School Closures website
If the school is forced to close during the day, we will immediately post a message on the website and send a message to parents via text/email.
If the school is open, but that you feel the journey is not safe for your child, please contact the school to report the absence in the usual manner.
Please be aware that if the school is open, absence may be considered unauthorised.
