We consider Years 7 and 8 to be two very special years at Kingshott. During these years our pupils... ✔️Grow in confidence ✔️Are taught in smaller classes ✔️Are given positions of responsibility ✔️Become increasingly independent ✔️Take part in a range of trips and visits ✔️Are stretched academically ✔️Are given opportunities to explore wider issues and topics beyond the curriculum ✔️Perform in the school play ✔️Finish with a week in Barcelona. In our quest to make the transition from Year 6 – 7 as smooth and happy as possible, we begin the year with a day in Cambridge to enjoy some culture in the form of a historical treasure hunt around the city and punting on the River Cam, whilst forming new friendships.

We can't wait to see this year's costumes! 😊 We have some wonderful authors coming to school to work with our children for World Book Day. Damian Harvey is providing workshops for children from Nursery to Year 2 and @ChrisBradfordAuthor will be visiting the Prep School for workshops and book signings.

Life at school is demanding. Busy classrooms can be challenging places for some, especially as everyone has different needs. Playgrounds can be equally tricky and sometimes overwhelming for some children. Children from year 3 to year 8 are able to choose independently to come to The Hub if they have any worries or concerns, or just need a safe space for some quiet time. It is very important for the children to have ownership of their feelings and The Hub is a secure place for them to think and/or talk. 💭 🗣️ Find out more about the Hub and how Sidney the Cocker Spaniel helps our pupils here: http://bit.ly/KingshottHub
