News & Updates

Over the summer break, construction of our new school building on Kellaway Road continued to go from strength to strength.

Our newsletter has been sent out to all parents and carers via ParentMail.  Please try and make time to read through this, as it is a great way to stay up to date with news and updates from our school.

The UK Government has produced advice for parents and carers on looking after the mental health and well-being of children or young people during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.  These can be found below, as well as translated documents and guidance in a variety of languages.

A special goodbye to our Year 6 leavers 

Goodbye and Good Luck to Kidbrooke Park Primary School Leavers 2020!

Sadly, the time has come for us to say goodbye to our wonderful Year 6 pupils.  Whilst this year has been different to what we all expected, we have been immensely proud of the children and how they have shown determination and resilience in a far from normal final year at primary school. 

We know that our school community is hugely affected by what is going on around us at this difficult time. Lives are changing and children may have picked up worries and fears about the virus and the possibility that they or someone they love and depend on may get ill.  We are also aware that children will also pick up on other worries parents and carers may have about the situation. For children who suffer a loss or have already been bereaved, anxiety may be worse.

In our Nursery, we asked parents to send pictures to us of home learning activities which they would like to share with us at school.

Over the coming weeks, children will be able to take part in 'Battles of the Bands', through Times Tables RockStars.  This means that groups of children will take on others within the school, with the most correct answers per group being declared as the winner!

Whilst you have been out on your daily walk during this strange time, have you spotted anything new hanging up at the front of our school?

The Gruffalo illustrator Axel Scheffler has produced a book about Covid-19 Coronavirus just for children - and it's available as a FREE download.  Please share so it's available to every family who needs it.  This book was created in conjunction with consultant Professor Graham Medley, two head teachers and a psychologist to make sure the book got the messages right, answering questions about quarantine, how you can catch the virus and what happens if you get ill.
