💛 Free course for parents, carers & grandparents

Big feelings and worries can be difficult for children — and knowing how best to support them isn’t always easy.

That’s why we’re offering a series of free short courses for parents, carers and grandparents, starting at Selling CE Primary School in Faversham.

🌿 Our next course: Supporting Your Child’s Anxiety
📍 Selling CE Primary School, Faversham
⏰ 2-hour session
💷 Completely free

The session will help you understand anxiety in children and explore practical strategies you can use to help your child manage their worries.

Whether you're looking for support right now or simply want to build your confidence and understanding, everyone is welcome.

👉 All you need to do is enrol using the link below.

Snack-tember 2026 is here again!

Can you and your child snack better this Snack-tember?

We are looking at healthier snacks during September. Can you try something new, make a better swap (such as wholegrain toast instead of white)? Or make something healthier?

We would love to hear from you if you have tried something new - whether it's a 👍 or 👎

Walmer House Colour Change 💜

Due to the recent heatwaves, we have made the decision to gradually change the Walmer House colour T-Shirt from yellow to purple over the course of the coming academic year.

We have found that bugs are particularly attracted to yellow, which can make PE days rather uncomfortable for our Walmer Team! 🐝🦟

If your child currently has a yellow Walmer House T-shirt, please do not feel that you need to replace it with a purple one straight away. We would encourage children to continue wearing it, only purchasing a purple one when a replacement is needed.

Thank you for your support as we make this gradual change.
