Dame Janet is a good school for everyone.
Our provision and our focus on personal development and welfare is outstanding. Supportive and skilled staff nurture and develop children to find what they are excellent at - whether it’s in the classroom, on the sports field, or as an artist.

Our ‘mini police cadets’ had an interesting time at Margate police station this afternoon. They had the chance to see many areas of the police station and explore the work of different staff members from Kent Police. The children chose to lock Mrs Sherwin in the police van first and happily let her get handcuffed. More photos will follow of the children once we receive them 👮 👮♀️

Last term, Curie class had a wonderful time at Royal Harbour Academy in Ramsgate. Royal Harbour welcomed us into their cooking rooms and helped the children to make a healthy meal. It was lovely for the children to have the opportunity to cook independently and develop their cookery skills. More photos can be found on Facebook. #damejanetprimaryacademy

😞 Hopefully you will have noticed some of our new no parking signs. Sadly, a parent has run over one of these signs in their car - a stark reminder of why they are there - to protect a child's life. Please, please, please do not park on paths , zigzags or double yellow lines. Please use one of the many side roads. 😟

O’Keeffe Class had a lovely art afternoon last week. The children looked at lots of examples of still life art and then had a go at creating their own. We are so lucky to have some wonderful artists in our school! 🥰 More photos can be found on our Facebook page. #damejanetprimaryacademy
