We are delighted to announce that we are now affiliated with Kent Children's University.
KCU operates across the county and is an excellent way for KS2 children to develop their learning and thirst for knowledge beyond the normal school day. Any child who registers is given a KCU passport, the children can then 'collect' stamps in their passports by completing tasks at a huge number of 'learning destinations' across the county.
Many notable tourist attractions such as Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, Chatham Dockyard, Dover Castle, Gravesend Library are registered as 'Learning Destinations'. Equally children can gain stamps through attending our own Study Support activities and clubs.
There are awards for specific numbers of stamps gained with the ultimate accolade being presented at a 'Graduation Ceremony' at a local University.
More information and a list of learning destinations can be found here.
We are having an information session this Wednesday straight after school for any KS2 parents who wish to attend. I hope to see many of you there.
I have approached KCU and stated that we may well have some KS1 children who would wish to be involved, which they are looking into piloting.....watch this space!
