Dear Parents/Carers,
Well here we are, two-thirds of the way through the academic year with the Summer Term approaching.
What a turn out it was at Horsham FC the other Saturday! Around 300 Kingslea parents and children attended the match, with the club contacting me after the game to say how well behaved the children were. Well done everyone.

Dear Parents/Carers,  
Last week, we had what must have been our most successful and purposeful World Book Day.  KLASS did a fantastic job setting up the book fair which the children absolutely loved, thank you to all our volunteers. It was lovely to see the children choosing books for themselves and often their siblings!

Dear Parents/Carers,   
What a busy few weeks it has been since our last newsletter.
It was lovely to see everyone at parents’ evening, looking through the children’s books, talking with the class teachers, browsing the books at the book fair and watching the video about our new parent portal (see more below). Thank you to the House Captains who did an excellent job helping out during both evenings.

Dear Parents/Carers,  
Welcome to the first newsletter of 2025. Yes 2025! 
It’s not just adults who think time flashes by, but it seems Year 2 children do as well. The other day I overheard two Year 2 children talking outside my office by the House Point collection table. They were talking about why some of our House Points tokens are smaller than others. One of the Year 2 children answered ‘It’s because the small ones are from the olden days’. I asked him when the ‘olden days’ were, quick as a flash he replied ‘When we were in Reception!’ Made me laugh.

Dear Parents/Carers, On Thursday 24th October, we held our first ever whole school Core 4 day dedicated to the Core 4 Values which we introduced in September. During the day, children from each class were mixed into 12 special house groups so that we could collaborate all the way from Reception to Year 6. Being dressed in our house colours made our groups extra special. There were 4 main activities which we all took part in. Each activity represented our Core 4 Values; respect, perseverance, respect and creativity. We had some special pupil leaders who worked with all the adults to help make sure each group got to their activities safely.

Dear Parents/Carers, As you will remember, last term we asked all members of the school community to vote for which whole school values we should integrate as part of our everyday life at Kingslea. We had an amazing number of responses with some excellent thoughts and feedback for us to take into consideration.

​Dear Parents/Carers, Over the next few weeks there is a real focus on transition. On Wednesday, children are spending the morning in their new classroom with their new class teacher. On the same day Year 6 will visit their secondary schools and our new Reception children will be coming for another visit.

Dear Parents/Carers, It’s been a fantastic start to the final half-term of the year. The children are thoroughly enjoying their learning journeys, teachers are very pleased with the progress that the children are making and we are back on the field at lunchtimes. KS2 packed lunches are eating outside and all the classes are now playing on the field. KS1 are loving the building area, parachute games, exploring the woods with Mr Gear and their seems to be a craze for building houses out of cut grass.

Dear Parents/Carers, 
Welcome to the Summer Term.
As you know one of the areas that we feel is a strength of the school are the trips, events and curriculum enhancements that we put on. At the end of the last term, Y5 visited Greenwich Museum as part of their Exploration Learning Journey, Y6 orienteered around Leechpool Woods to put their map reading skills into practice and in the last two weeks Y5 have visited the QM studio to record the lyrics and music they have written, Y4 have visited St. Mary’s Church and Horsham Park, and it was Kingslea Day at Horsham FC.
