It's been a lovely week at New Horizons as we reach the end of June. This week, our Year 6 children have begun their transition to secondary school, with many attending special events at their new schools. We're so proud of how they're embracing this next chapter.

We are moving quickly through the month of June, and I’d like to take a moment to say a big well done to all our pupils for their hard work this week. Congratulations to our Year 1 and Year 2 children who have taken part in their phonics screening checks, to our Year 2 pupils for their effort and focus during end-of-year assessments, and to our Year 4 children who completed the Multiplication Tables Check. Your support at home plays a vital role in helping your child make progress—thank you for all that you do.

Welcome back to Term 6. We hope you had an enjoyable half term. We have a busy term ahead with productions, trips and the Year 6 residential visit. Children are showing hard working attitudes to their learning and we had a positive quality assurance visit this week from other leaders in the Trust who were impressed with our phonics teaching and curriculum development this year.

We have had a final busy and creative week of term here at New Horizons. Year 6 have enjoyed their DT textile project where they designed and created their own soft toy including turtles and starfish. Year 3 have also been making clay jewellery pieces and Year 5 have also produced amazing unique maps using mixed media.

Are you looking for ways to keep entertained during the upcoming school holiday? Below, please find a range of local enrichment activities happening across Medway, offering fun and engaging opportunities for children. Take a look and plan some exciting adventures.

At New Horizons, we have had a number of recent awards to celebrate which all demonstrate fantastic achievements. Not only have we been re-accredited as an Advanced Thinking School as I communicated a few weeks ago, but also we have been re-awarded our Gold Artsmark award too. In addition, we have a particular special mention for Miss Kingsland in Year 5 who has won the 'Medway Primary Teacher of the Year Award' in the Trust annual awards. Congratulations to Miss Kingsland !
