26th June 2020 - Update

Dear Parents,

The school building has once again been filled a little with the sounds of children learning and working together with the partial return of Years R, 1 and 6.

It sadly will not be possible to have the whole school back together this academic year under one roof but we look forward to September when we will be able to do so again.

Today I sent home letters via email about our end of year arrangements which explain how we plan to have teacher "meet ups" for children to see class teachers and a group of friends as well as explaining how we plan to have "Meet the Teacher" sessions for children to meet their teacher for next year. 

In the meantime, we will continue to provide child care provision for the children of key workers and those children who need extra support.  

Work for home learning has been set by teachers and can be accessed online via  the home learning page, or the children can access the RM Unify app. To access this app the children log on using their normal school usernames. This is their first name, the initial of their surname@cheritonprimary and password. 

If you have not collected your new home learning pack this term please do so from the school reception area.

We have set up extra pages on this site, including links to various websites that have free learning, fun activities and sporting ideas whilst at home, we also have another for photos that families have emailed in to school. 

Finally, don't forget the Cheriton Challenge!

OFSTED Inspection- October 2019

Cheriton Primary School has been one of the first schools in Kent to be inspected under the new Inspection Framework that came became statutory in September 2019.

The opening paragraph of the report captures all that we strive for here at Cheriton and are delighted that OFSTED recognises this.

"Pupils of all cultures and backgrounds thrive in this friendly and welcoming school. They are exceptionally well cared for and nurtured.

One parent said: ‘Cheriton is a place where every child matters and is valued.’

Pupils are very happy at school. They respect and get on well with their teachers. 

Leaders and staff want the very best for all pupils’ academic and personal achievements. Pupils enjoy learning because teachers make it interesting.

The school motto of ‘Learning to Live’ drives all that the school does."

After the report was published the children had a special film afternoon to celebrate all their hard work.

Do take time to read the complete  OFSTED report that can be found via this link.
