Castle Hill children had an incredible month of reading in May, Every single month we challenge the whole school to read more and more. The children have beaten most of their scores from March, our last full month of school, impressing all the staff by reading 676 books, 2,917,974 words and they even bettered our school target of reading for 18 minutes per day! This was fantastic news before the half term and we are looking forward to see if the children can keep up their impressive efforts in June and July as the school year comes to an end.

Spending time reading is the most important thing any child can do to improve their learning, so please listen to your children read as much as possible and encourage them to read at home so they can complete their quizzes in school. If you have any questions or queries about reading, then please speak to your child’s class teacher or Mr Spurgeon.

Sports Days 2026 - NEW DATES

All parents/carers are welcome to attend Sports Day, on the day their child is due to take part.

Children will need to wear a T-Shirt in their Castle Colour, together with navy/black sports shorts and plimsolls/trainers on the day of their sports day. If you are unsure which Castle your child is in please ask at the office.

The Castles are:
DOVER - GREEN HEVER - BLUE LEEDS - RED WALMER - YELLOW

Please remember that:-
• Suncream should be applied to children BEFORE they arrive at school
• All children will need a HAT
• All children will require a DRINKS BOTTLE. If they do not have one you can buy a refillable bottle (available via SCOPAY) for £2 or a disposable bottle for 20p.

Please ensure your children have all the above when they arrive at school. Children will be given fruit and DO NOT need a snack while they are taking part in Sports Day.

We ask that ALL parents/carers stay on one side of the track to view the races and not stand at the end where children finish their event.
In the event of rain/bad weather Sports Days will be cancelled.
We look forward to seeing you all on your child/children’s Sports Day.
