Welcome to Sturry C.E Primary School
"The school is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of pupils and staff."
Community Worship
At Sturry we celebrate our Christian faith with acts of worship on a daily basis. We would love to invite you to share in our Thursday act of worship which is usually led by a visitor such as Captain Nunn, The Rector or Peter Freeman. We begin at 10.20 and finish at 10.40 - all would be welcome.

Healthy Eating Loyalty Card
All pupils now have their own Healthy Eating Loyalty Card. Every time a pupil eats a portion of vegetables or a piece of fruit, we stamp their card!
When the card is full, they receive an award. This is for all children- including those who have a packed lunch.
Shoes
Despite reminders over the last few weeks a number of children are still coming to school in trainers. I would ask parents to support the school's uniform policy.
TESCO SCHOOL VOUCHERS
Tesco vouchers start again on the 1st March 2010. There will be a collection box outside the school office.
Win a Nintendo DS Lite + 3 games
Poor attendance affects childrens' progress. It's as simple as that! We are now introducing another strategy to encourage good attendance. For every week that a child achieves 100% attendance their name will be put into a draw to win a prize. The winning name will be picked out at the end of each term. The more weeks that 100% attendance is achieved, the more chances to win. The first draw will take place on Friday 12th February. The School Council will suggest a different prize for each term.

E-safety
We have sent home an e-safety agreement that we would like you to read and discuss with your child. Would you and your child please sign the agreement and return it to school on Monday.
The agreement has been placed on our website, should you wish to print off a spare copy for use at home.
Swimming Gala Success
Congratulations to the Year 5/6 team who represented the school at a recent swimming gala. The children took part in numerous events, ranging from swimming relays to finding hidden treasure at the bottom of the pool. Not only did the children have great fun, but they also came 1st out of twelve competing schools. The plaque displaying the first ever winners of this new gala is now proudly displayed in our trophy cabinet.
All children in KS2 now attend swimming lessons over the year.
Breakfast Club
Last week over 100 pupils attended our Breakfast club, which is open from 7.30 am Monday to Friday. The children enjoy a range of fun activities, from ball games to playing on th Wii fit. Breakfast varies from either toast, muffins or pancakes to beans on toast. Fresh fruit is always available.
Cost of Breakfast Club is £2 per session. No need to book. Just turn up and pay.
P.E. Kit
A reminder that the school p.e. kit is white top and dark blue shorts. These days such items are widely available at supermarkets and reasonably priced.
Please ensure that the school's policy on uniform/p.e. kit is adhered to.
Award for School
The school has once again been awarded the “Active Mark” for the provision of Physical Education and School Sport. The range of sports offered throughout the year and made available to various year groups has included: basketball, athletics, football, netball, gymnastics.
Suggestion Box
A number of parents have approached me on the school gate in the mornings with various suggestions/ideas for the school. A suggestion box is positioned in the foyer area together with pens/postcards for you to put forward suggestions to improve the school. Please ensure that you put your name on the card so that we can contact you should we need to discuss suggestions further.
Alternatively, you can always e-mail me your ideas: headofschool@sturry.kent.sch.uk
