Three of our Year 5 pupils decided to raise money by holding a sale on the green. The girls raised £32 which they used to purchase items for the local food bank. Working together they selected long life items and added up the costs. What a lovely gesture from our pupils! pic.twitter.com/R91A3St8aN

Safety In The Community

This page is keeping children safe in every way within our community, and helping them to learn about how they can keep themselves safe.

Road safety

We encourage all children and staff to consider their means of travel to school. This will include walking, car sharing and the use of public transport. Children may scooter or cycle to school but parent/carers must teach them how to use the roads safely. Parents/carers are asked to be considerate of others when bringing their child to school by car and park where they will not be causing a problem to pedestrians, residents or other drivers.

Water safety

We live Holborough Lakes and there are also several Lakes locally. We are also lucky enough to have Larkfield Swimming Pool close by. In the summer, you may take a day trip to the coast. As part of school swimming lessons, we teach water safety.

Rail safety

Our school is close to Snodland Train Station. You should never go on train tracks as it is very dangerous. We teach rail safety in school but it essential that parents/carers reiterate this at home. Our school regularly has 'Rail Safety' assemblies and talks as part of our safeguarding.
