We are excited to be taking part in Medway’s Little Trekkers Challenge from Monday 12th to Friday 16th October, as part of International Walk to School Month.

As a school, we already take part in the WOW Travel Tracker programme, where children record how they travel to school each day. During Little Trekkers Week, our usual active journeys will count towards a special Medway-wide challenge.

Children can help by walking, wheeling, cycling, scooting or using Park & Stride (parking further away and walking the last 5 minutes).

Schools across Medway will be competing to achieve the highest number of active travel journeys. The winning primary school will receive a £300 Halfords voucher, with a £100 Halfords voucher for the most improved school.

Let’s keep up our fantastic active travel and see if Saxon Way can reach the top!

💚 What a wonderful celebration of 60 years of our school! 💚

We had such a fantastic time welcoming past pupils, families, former staff and friends back to Saxon Way for our 60th anniversary.

It was especially special to meet people from the very opening of Hillyfields Junior School and hear their wonderful memories and untold stories of their time here. 📖✨

We were so touched to hear how much former pupils loved their time at the school, and to receive such lovely feedback about the memories and experiences they took away with them.

A school is so much more than its buildings - it is the people, friendships, memories and stories that create its history and legacy.

Thank you to everyone who came, shared a memory and helped make our celebration so special.

60 years of memories. 60 years of community. 60 years of stories. 💚🌿
