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. It was a truly collaborative celebration, with every class contributing something unique and meaningful. 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. After some careful crafting at home, the children arrived at school proudly with their spectacular Easter bonnets.

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!

Today twenty children from James’ Dance Club went to Astor School in Dover to participate in a multi school dance festival. Every one of our girls performed confidently with great stage presence.

They should all be very proud of themselves. Thanks James for all your hard work.

We are very grateful that they give up their spare time to listen to the children read and sometimes read to them, enc
