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…

Community Welcome Morning Last week I told you about our Community Welcome Morning. Stupidly, I had scheduled that for March 5th which happens also to be World Book Day. That was a silly mistake! I have rescheduled this event to Thursday March 12th. We’ll have a showcase of the children dancing and singing and some…

Dear parents and carers, What a week that was! Well done everyone who managed to stay safe and warm through Storm Chandra – and solidarity to everyone who had to deal with floods, flying trampolines, power outages and everything else that came our way. A bit of news from me before we get started; I…

Dear Parents and Carers, the wind is absolutely howling around me as I write this. I do hope you are all safe and warm and no one is losing slates off their roofs. It has been a week with a great deal of weather but there has been lots of fun and lots of learning…

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…

Well, that’s a wrap on Kenton Primary for 2025. What a busy year it has been. It’s hard to think now that it’s barely a year since the school moved onto this new site and started putting it’s roots down again. We started the year with some classrooms and our funny little admin hut and…

Dear Parents and Carers, apologies for the lack of a newsletter last week – it was a very busy week indeed! We had our Nativity Play, our Christmas Concert, our Christmas Fayre and much, much more. By the end of the week I think most of us were fit to drop. This week has started…

Dear Parents and Carers, solidarity to all of you with poorly children. I’ve been suffering with this dreadful cold myself but at least I’m not nursing an eight year old through it too. I hope the weather cheers up and you are able to get outside and breathe some fresh air soon. The website editor…

Building Update The building is done!! The school was handed over to us on Monday afternoon and by the end of the day we had moved the food service out of Willow Class – no more mornings interrupted by the dinner trolley rolling through the classroom! On Tuesday after school a brilliant team of parents,…
