Newsletter 13th March Well! That has been my busiest week yet at wonderful Kenton Primary – all good I hasten to add, but super busy and I hope you will forgive me if this is a shorter than usual newsletter. My main purpose today is to say a huge thank you to everyone who has…

The Year of Reading I don’t know if you’ve noticed that we are really trying to push reading this year. I hope you have. Out of the many things that you could do to help your child flourish at school and beyond, promoting their enjoyment and fluency in reading is the most effective and, as…

Dear Parents and Carers, welcome back. It has been a jolly busy week here and half term already seems like a long, long time ago. I hope that you had a good break – our love and solidarity to those members of the community, and I’m afraid I think there was a few, who spent…

Dear Parents and Carers, Just a very quick message from me tonight. Firstly some ‘thank you’s and secondly, and very importantly we have a job vacancy that we would like as many people as possible to know about – please get in onto all the class whatsapps, the local facebook groups and any other networks…

Dear Parents and Carers, another busy and happy week at Kenton. We have so much to be thankful for. I have been bowled over this week by some amazing transformations in learning attitudes. Miss Phippen appears to have worked a miracle in Oak Class and I have had an absolute procession coming to see me…

Happy New Year from all of us a Kenton Primary School. I am writing on Friday morning, we seem to have come through Storm Goretti relatively unscathed. One of the beautiful timeline boards on our fence was broken in half and blown across the pathway so I am very glad that none of us were…
