Class Dojo...
At Headcorn Primary School, we use a reward system called ‘Dojos’ to celebrate and encourage positive behavior and achievements. Children earn Dojos for a variety of reasons, including academic effort and progress, embodying our Core Values of Aspiration, Inclusion, and Resilience, and showing kindness, helpfulness, or being a good friend.
Students can then spend their earned Dojos at our Dojo Shop. The shop offers a range of prizes, from craft kits, books, and stationery to football cards, with items ranging from 10 to 100 points. In addition to physical prizes, students can also use their Dojos to access special experiences or opportunities.
Earrings and Long Hair: PE Safety Reminder
As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety during PE lessons, we would like to remind parents of a few important guidelines:
-
Earrings: If your child wears earrings, please ensure they can remove them independently before PE. Alternatively, earrings must be covered with medical-grade tape to prevent injuries. We recommend keeping tape in your child’s PE kit for ease.
-
Long Hair: Students with long hair should have it securely tied back for every PE lesson to prevent accidents and ensure full participation.
Thank you for your support in maintaining these safety measures, helping all students enjoy their PE lessons safely and confidently.
In Memory of Mr. Curteis, Our Beloved Road Crossing Patrol...
It is with great sadness that we share the news of Mr. Curteis' passing, our much-loved Road Crossing Patrol. In response, a JustGiving page was set up by parents to allow for donations, and the outpouring of generosity has been incredible, with over £665 raised so far.
Members of the school community, along with Mr. Curteis' family and the Parish Council, will be meeting to discuss how these donations can be used for a fitting memorial. We will keep you updated on the progress. If you would still like to contribute, the donation page will remain open for a little while longer. You can access it here: JustGiving for Mr. Curteis.
In the meantime, the Road Crossing Patrol division of KCC is actively recruiting for someone to fill this important role. Until then, we kindly ask parents to ensure their children cross at safe points on Kings Road. Year 6 pupils walking to and from school will receive support to cross the road safely.
