We have been incredibly proud of the exemplary behaviour, attitude and cooperation shown by our students as everyone has adapted to the very warm conditions and found ways to keep cool.

As a thank you, our Headteacher treated all students and staff to an ice cream today! A well-deserved reward! 🍦

We are incredibly proud of our student Zak, whose winning recycling design is now travelling around Maidstone on a SUEZ recycling lorry! ♻️🚛

Zak's creative artwork was selected as part of Maidstone Borough Council's recycling vehicle design competition, helping to promote the importance of recycling and caring for our environment across the local community.

Congratulations to Zak on this fantastic achievement, and well done to fellow winner Becky from Loose Primary School. We are delighted to see these talented young artists making such a positive impact.
