Welcome back!

Welcome back to a new term and the sun is finally starting to shine. This means that the children will soon be able to access the field and woods. The ground just needs a little more drying time.
Reception Places
Reception places have now been confirmed for September. If you are expecting a place for your child at Bean and have not yet heard from Kent County Council, please contact a member of staff who will be happy to help.
Red Nose Day

Well done to the whole school community for pulling together and raising £150 for Red Nose Day. The children were adorned in red and engaged in a danceathon during the afternoon. This involved children dancing to the hall and then dancing with children of a different age group. Staff also participated which resulted in a carnival atmosphere throughout the school.
We are a popular place to learn!

We currently have 205 Pupils attending Bean Primary School which is our highest number for many years. We also have an extremely high number of parents seeking a place for their child in Reception from September 2024. Together we are clearly creating a popular place for our children to learn and grow as we seek to help them ‘become the best that they can be’ - Article 29.
“Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work.”

Minibus

Today the school received its new school minibus! This idea initially came from our Rights Respecting Ambassadors and has been supported by the Governing Body. This will help greatly with sport and educational visits ensuring all children can access these crucial opportunities. It will also help the school improve and enhance the experiences we offer our pupils.
9.2.24

This week the children learnt that ‘Your Voice Matters’ in assembly. This is the slogan used for Children’s Mental Health Week. The children voted on improving playtimes or helping them achieve 100% class attendance so that the children could wear their own clothes for a day. Classes have come close this term but unfortunately no class had achieved 100%. Staff took this request away and considered national attendance figures and found that as a school we are doing well.
National average attendance for all schools in England 9/2023 to date: 93.1% attendance.
Bean Primary School attendance 9/2023 to date: 94.2% attendance.
As a result of the children’s efforts, staff decided to award each class a celebration day to wear their own clothes! More information will follow on the specific date.
Please continue to make every effort to ensure your child attends school each day.
