Principal's Message
On Monday, we proudly participated in our first sporting event of the year, a girls' football tournament held at the Gallagher Stadium. The girls played exceptionally well and represented our school with great sportsmanship and enthusiasm.
Our EYFS children were particularly excited this week as they welcomed a representative from the Blue Cross. During this visit, the children engaged with various activities centred around animal care, fostering their curiosity and compassion for our furry friends.
On Thursday, we had our first School Council meeting. The children all came with lots of ideas and were very excited to discuss our first fundraising event on the 10th October 'Hello Yellow' day.
Next Monday, we will be celebrating Harvest in school. We will be collecting for our local food bank. Any donations for this will be greatly appreciated.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Mrs H Penning

We've recently noticed an increase in the number of children wearing fleeces to school.
We want to gently remind all parents that fleeces are not part of the academy uniform and should not be worn in place of a jumper or cardigan.
Please ensure your child comes to school each day wearing the full and correct academy uniform.
Uniform can be ordered from: https://price-buckland.co.uk/
Thank you for your cooperation.
This is a reminder to parents to submit a consent or decline for the FLU vaccination via the Immunisation Service’s website https://www.kentimmunisations.co.uk/
Please submit your preference by the cut-off date 03/10/2025.

Youth violence impacts 1 in 4 children and young people in the UK, yet many parents and educators feel unsure how to respond. This guide breaks down the causes, risks and warning signs of violent behaviour in young people, helping adults feel more confident in supporting those at risk.
Drawing on expert insights from the Ben Kinsella Trust, it explores why some young people may carry weapons, how violence is influenced by online content, and what time and locations pose the greatest risk. It also highlights the importance of early intervention, emotional support, and honest conversations.
