A warm welcome from our

Headteacher

“Our aim is to make learning fun, enjoyable and inspiring! If we can open children’s minds to accepting a challenge and enjoying meeting it, then we open a world of opportunities for them. Opportunities to meet with success, realise their potential and follow their dreams! Primary school children enjoying their learning is key to future success!”

Aletheia Academies Trust

Horton Kirby Church of England Primary School joined as a member of Aletheia Academies Trust in 2017.

Aletheia is committed to sustaining high-quality schools, and supporting schools in need of specific improvement in some of the more challenging wards in Kent. Our focus is to provide school improvement services that draw on the wealth of practice from across our trust, broaden the expertise available to schools through flexible working arrangements and increase our capacity to quickly respond to the needs of individual schools. Pedagogical excellence is at the heart of all we do with a sustained focus on collaborative and mastery learning.

We have had a fantastic two terms paying for @cyclemetotsdartford out of our Sports Premium budget this year. Zara and Claire have been an absolute joy to have in school, teaching Acorn Class. The children have made tremendous progress and we look forward to having them back next year. Thank you Zara and Claire!

We also received this lovely message following our sessions!

"We just wanted to thank you for having us over the last couple of months. We’ve really enjoyed our time with the children, and are so impressed with their determination, perseverance and attitude to trying something that to a lot of the children, was completely new! They are a real credit to the school, and we are so privileged to be able to be part of teaching them a skill that will stay with them for life."

For anti-bullying week this year, some of our pupils here at Horton Kirby took part in our Trust anti-bullying Week Video. 

As there are 12 schools in Aletheia Academies Trust, unfortunately, they couldn't use all of our video clips, so instead we would like to share with you Horton Kirby's clips of the children talking about bullying, including their own definitions and how they would stop bullying if it was to occur.
