This week we held our annual confirmation service. Ten of our pupils were confirmed and it was lovely to welcome Bishop Rise to lead the service. Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made for them when they were baptised. Bishop Rose laid her hands on their heads and asked God’s Holy Spirit to give them the strength and commitment to live God’s way for the rest of their life. The children sang beautifully and were brillian

Ducklings had their very first Beach School session, and it’s safe to say it was a huge success! The children were incredibly sensible as we walked down to the sunny beach, demonstrating excellent behaviour and strong awareness of road safety along the way. Once we arrived, the children couldn’t wait to enjoy the wide, open space. They had a quick run across the sand, making the most of the freedom to move and explore in a safe, natural environment. This kind of active outdoo

On the final day of term, our school community came together for a very special Easter service at St Eanswythe's Church. Over the past few weeks, the children have been busy preparing songs, poems, artwork and readings to help retell the Easter story.

The service began with a joyful reflection on Palm Sunday, with Ducklings waving palm leaves and singing, setting the scene

This week, the children of St Eanswythe’s took part in our much-loved Easter Bonnet Parade, bringing a wonderful splash of colour and creativity to our local community.

There was a speed round, logic puzzles, a murder mystery to solve, a group challenge, a crossnumber and a set of relay questions. Our children showed perseverance whilst working their brains really hard. They did a fantastic job and came 3rd overall. Well done you made us proud.

Ducklings Class had an absolutely roarsome time on their trip to Folkestone Museum, where they took part in a fun, hands-on dinosaur workshop! The children explored how rocks and fossils are formed, getting stuck in with some amazing real-life specimens from Folkestone and beyond. They discovered which dinosaurs once roamed right where they live and learned how scientists use clues from fossils to understand the past. The session was packed with sensory activities, giving eve

This term, we have continued to visit Glendale to read to some of the residents. Our reading buddies kindly give up some of their free time to listen to our children read. The reading activities are enjoyed by everyone.

Today, our Year 6 class represented us in an English competition against some other local schools and we won! The children impressed the judges not only with some stunning fluent reading but their outstanding spelling of rehearsed and unseen words. The rest of the class supported their classmates and it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Well done Year 6- you are amazing!
