It was so lovely to have the whole school on the field on Monday participating in Sports Day together.  The children worked wonderfully together in their house teams and, as always, it was lovely to see the older children helping and encouraging the younger pupils across the school.   Thank you to all the families who spoke to staff or emailed after the event, it is always reassuring for us as a school to know that we've struck the right balance between competition and fun for events like these.  Huge thanks to Mrs Smith for taking on the mantle of organising the afternoon, assisted by Mrs Wickett-Smith from PASS.

Lastly congratulations to all the children for trying their best in the sun but especially to our winning house – SYCAMORE!

What a fabulous week the Year 6 children had on their residential trip last week.  We are so very proud of all they achieved, overcoming many fears, developing their independence, being away from home and their families and taking responsibility for organising themselves.

They took part in nearly 20 activities during the week including abseiling, campfire, Jacob’s ladder, canoeing, archery, buggy building, zip wire, sensory trail, beach walk, disc golf and more.  They all ate incredibly well and learnt various songs that we are still hearing back in Trottiscliffe.  The enjoyment and personal development a trip such as this gives the children is so worthwhile and it is a pleasure to look after the children each year during this experience.  Huge thanks to Mrs Lane and Miss Hardy for accompanying the trip this year.
