Signing Choir Dates

Sign Language (Signing Choir)

In the signing choir, children will learn a variety of songs and the accompanying British Sign Language.

Reception children are used to seeing and using sign language in the classrooms and in school assemblies, while many of the year 1 and 2 children were involved in the signing choir last year. It is open to any age group and there is no limit on numbers.

Signing choir provides a fun opportunity to learn songs and raise awareness of sign language and hearing impairment within the community.

Football Club Dates

This year we are running our sessions as follows:

8.30 – 9.30 Year 5 / Year 6 at Hayes secondary school
8.30 – 9.30 Year 3 at Highfield
9.45 – 10.45 Year R / Year 1 at Highfield
10.45 – 11.45 Year 2 / Year 4 at Highfield

The dates on which the club will operate this term will be communicated later.

Please note that we do not run the club during the half-term Saturdays.

Cricket Club Dates

The club will be run by Kent County Cricket Club and will take place in the upper playground. In the event of bad weather it will take place in the school hall. It will take place before school between 7.45 and 8.45am and will concentrate on general beginners skills.

The children participating will need to attend school in their P.E kit, but will need to bring their school uniform to change into later.

Gym Club Dates

Gymnastics Lessons - Monday and Wednesday.

We are pleased to announce that Amie Frazer will be continuing with the gymnastics lessons this school year for our year 1 & 2 pupils. This year she will be taking both the Monday and Wednesday classes.
