The latest SEND Roadshow dates have now been released, giving families and professionals the opportunity to come together, hear updates and ask questions about local SEND services and support. These roadshows are a great chance to connect with services, share feedback and find out more about what is available to support children and young people with SEND in Kent.

As we head into the summer months, it’s a great time to think about how we can support the emotional wellbeing of young people. Changes in routine, more free time, and the pressures of social media or isolation can all have an impact on how young people feel over the holidays.
1 Week to go – The Immunisation Service are coming to deliver the Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio (DTP), Meningococcal ACWY vaccinations.

In June 2025, we announced an expansion of free school meals (FSM) to all households that receive Universal Credit. This will take effect from the start of the 2026 to 2027 school year and applies to all settings currently required to provide FSM to eligible pupils.
Transitional protections for free meals will finish at the end of the current school year. From the start of the next school year, pupils must meet the FSM eligibility criteria to continue receiving provision. Schools and local authorities should check FSM entitlement annually ahead of the October school census.
We have published updated guidance for schools and local authorities setting out how the new FSM entitlement should be administered.

Please note that after the upcoming half-term holiday, we will be transitioning to our Summer Uniform Policy, which will remain in place until the end of the academic year.
To help students stay comfortable during the warmer months, the following temporary adjustments apply:
Blazers and ties are now optional.
Tailored, black, knee-length shorts may be worn (please note that denim shorts or sports/casual shorts are not permitted).
All other aspects of our standard uniform policy remain unchanged and must be adhered to. We still expect our students to present themselves smartly.

Year 10 students have been hard at work both in and out of lessons over the last two terms gaining "Egg-stravaganza" points. Points were awarded for getting merits, maintaining excellent attendance and punctuality, taking part in extracurricular activities, and demonstrating the consistent hard work we so often see from our "silent achievers"— plus any other reasons teachers felt were worthy of a point or two!
A special mention goes to Zalan, who topped the leaderboard with an amazing 143 points!
Congratulations to runners up: Christopher, Winter, Evie, Toby, and Annabelle, who all took home an egg-related prize too.
All other participants were entered into a high-stakes prize draw for a massive pile of chocolate. While so many deserved to win, there was only one spin of the prize wheel and the winner was - Ali. We certainly hope he decided to share some of his winnings in the end!

Year 7 have been learning about Gamelan, the traditional music of Java and Bali this term. Gamelan are pitched percussion orchestras made up of gongs and metallophones and vary between Java and Bali. This music is used for entertainment, story telling, and celebration. It often accompanies a shadow puppetry called Wayang Kulit.
