📚 A HUGE thank you! 📚
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported our school by shopping at the recent Scholastic Book Fair! Thanks to your generosity, we raised an amazing £259.96.
With these funds, we have been able to add a fantastic selection of new books to our collection for our children to enjoy, explore, and get lost in—helping to inspire a lifelong love of reading 💛
Thank you once again for your support.

What a fantastic Sports Week! 🏅

Our children had an amazing time trying new activities, building confidence and having lots of fun. Each class enjoyed a special outing—from gymnastics at Rushmoor Gym, to climbing at Clip n Climb, and bowling at Guildford Spectrum.
We welcomed Paralympian David Smith OBE, who inspired everyone with boccia. Some pupils also represented us brilliantly at an athletics event, showing fantastic teamwork and our PIRRA values.
We ended the week with visiting students from Farnham Heath End School leading activities, followed by a brilliant Sports Day full of enthusiasm, determination and team spirit—well done to all!

Have a lovely half term—we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 1st June!

We were incredibly lucky to welcome Paralympian David Smith OBE to the school yesterday, who inspired us all by introducing the children to the sport of boccia. The children even got to hold his gold medal! His visit was a real highlight, and the children loved learning from such an accomplished athlete. Thanks to Athletes in Schools for organising his visit.

We are delighted to share this outcome of the recent Inspiring Future Teachers Ofsted inspection with a grading of 'Strong across the board'.

This recognition reflects the quality of training, mentoring and support our trainees receive every day across the partnership and this includes The Kite Academy Trust.

If you are interested in training to teach on a course which will immerse you in the classroom, build confidence, develop subject knowledge and learn how to make a real impact with pupils, please do get in touch with Kite Teacher Training at [email protected]
