Year 6 Performance of MATILDA...

Our school community had the pleasure of enjoying an encore presentation of the remarkable Year 6 Leavers' Production of "Matilda." The students' parents were absolutely thrilled by the performance they witnessed last Friday evening, and it's no surprise why. The talent, confidence, and dedication displayed by our 60 Year 6 students were truly exceptional and left an indelible mark on everyone present.

We are immensely proud of our students for their outstanding performance. Their hard work and enthusiasm shone through, making the production a memorable highlight of the school year.

A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to Mrs. Bramley-Harker, Mr. Harris, and the entire Year 6 Team for their tireless efforts in directing, choreographing, creating props, designing costumes, and coordinating all the intricate details that brought this production to life. Their dedication and creativity resulted in a show that could easily rival any West End performance.

Well done to everyone involved! Your commitment and passion have not only made this production a success but have also provided an inspiring and unforgettable experience for all.

Upcoming Transition Day: An Exciting Step Forward

Thursday 4th July marks an important day for our school as we hold our annual Transition Day. On this day, all students will move up to their new classrooms and spend time with their new teachers, providing a wonderful opportunity for them to familiarize themselves with their new environment and routines.

To ensure a smooth transition, each class will be accompanied by their current Teaching Assistants. This approach offers a comforting presence for the students, as they will have someone who understands their individual needs and whom they already trust. This support will help make the day a positive and successful experience for everyone.

Parents and guardians are invited to join us after school at 3:15 PM to collect their children. Your child will then take you to their new classroom, where you will have the chance to meet their new class teacher and see the space they will be learning in next year.

We will be sharing more detailed information about Transition Day and the specific arrangements on Monday. We are looking forward to this exciting step forward and appreciate your support in making this day a great success for all our students.

Headcorn Girls Shine at KS2 Greenfields Tournament...

On Tuesday, 18th June, the Headcorn Girls Football Team participated in the KS2 Greenfields Tournament, showcasing their skills and determination against six other schools from the Maidstone area. Headcorn was placed in Group A, competing alongside Boughton Monchelsea, Park Way, and St Katherine Primary Schools, among others.

The team got off to a flying start with a well-earned 1-0 victory against Boughton Monchelsea, thanks to a beautifully executed goal by Lucy in Year 5. This strong opening set a positive tone for the tournament.

In their subsequent matches, Headcorn faced West Borough and finalists Greenfields. Despite playing excellent football, they drew 0-0 with West Borough and narrowly lost 0-1 to Greenfields, missing several crucial scoring opportunities.

Determined to bounce back, the squad secured a well-deserved 1-0 win in their next game, with Bea in Year 5 netting the decisive goal. This victory reignited their hopes of advancing to the semi-finals.

The final group match against St Katherine was crucial. Despite a goalmouth scramble where the ball appeared to cross the line and then hitting the post soon after, Headcorn was unable to secure a win. The team’s fate then rested on the outcomes of other matches in the group.

Ultimately, Headcorn finished in 3rd place in Group A, which, unfortunately, meant their journey in the tournament came to an end.

Proud Moments and Future Prospects

Throughout the tournament, the Headcorn Girls displayed remarkable teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship. Their performance, highlighted by victories and close matches, is a testament to their hard work and potential.

Congratulations to the Headcorn Girls Football Team for their commendable efforts. The experience gained from this tournament will undoubtedly fuel their future successes. We look forward to seeing more impressive performances from this talented group of young athletes.

Go Headcorn!
