Cricket Club
I am pleased to share there are still a handful of places available at our Cricket Club – Calypso Cricket. Sessions are aimed at all abilities and suited to children in Year 2 upwards. The aim of the sessions is to have fun and introduce children to a faster paced, more exciting version of cricket.
South East Water
Thank you all for your understanding and quick action following today’s early closure. As you know, without access to water, we are legally required to close the academy and arrange for immediate collection. This is the second time in recent months that South East Water’s infrastructure issues have disrupted our pupils’ education. Consequently, LAT has lodged a formal complaint on behalf of Leigh Academy Horsmonden. If you would like to voice your own concerns regarding these recurring disruptions to your child’s learning, I encourage you to submit a formal complaint to South East Water as well.
As always, If you have any feedback, questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me. You could catch me on the gate in the morning/afternoon, email, or make an appointment at the school office.
I hope you all have a lovely Easter break and I look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday 20th April.
Kind regards
Hayley Sharp
