As a practising Roman Catholic, I am extremely proud to be the HeadTeacher at St Ethelbert's Catholic Primary School and Nursery. Since starting in September 2020, I lead an experienced, hardworking, outward looking and committed team who look forward to developing the school further for the children and local community. I have worked in Thanet throughout my whole career so know the area very well.

We are delighted and excited to announce that after its success last year, the Scholastic Book Fair will be returning to St Ethelbert's! The Book Fair will be on the KS2 Front playground before and after school on 1st and 2nd October and on Year 1 and 2 playground before and after school on 5th and 6th October. However, you are welcome to visit either playground on the day and time that suits you best. There will be over 200 books to choose from to suit all ages, interests and budgets. For every book that you purchase, you will help us to earn free books for our school. Like last year, we are unable to accept cash payments. If you wish to purchase a book, there will be a QR code to scan with your phone which will take you to the Scholastic website where you can make payment. We can't wait to see you all!

Reception Class have started their Forest School sessions as part of their weekly curriculum and are really enjoying exploring, creating and learning about the natural world. Forest School sessions help to develop the children's confidence, independence and resilience and are a fantastic way to be able to learn in a different environment. https://www.stethelbertsschool.co.uk/reception

A huge thank you to all our wonderful school families for supporting our non-uniform day last Friday! Thanks to your incredible kindness and generosity, our children raised a fantastic £165.68 for CAFOD. Following this brilliant effort, we are delighted to share that a representative from CAFOD will be visiting our school on Monday 5th October to speak to the children and explain exactly how this money will help global communities overcome poverty.

‘Every child at St Ethelbert’s is to fulfil their academic, social, behavioural and emotional potential in the surroundings of a Catholic community, and in which each individual shares or respects the Catholic Church and Christian way of Life.’
