🌦 Rain? 😊 No problem! Turner Class dove into their first Forest School session with big smiles and muddy boots. Despite the drizzle, the children had a great time making colourful leaf rubbings and exploring deciduous and evergreen trees. #damejanetprimaryacademy #forestschoolfun

We are looking for a parent governor to join the Dame Janet Governing Body. ❓But what would you be signing up for? School Governors are volunteers who are expected to undertake safeguarding training and be DBS checked. Our Governing Body meets 4 times each academic year to look at the school’s long-term goals. At these meetings Governors discuss the school's progress and check policies and procedures are working well. Governors bring a wide range of skills and expertise from their professional and day to day lives to the governing board and we are eager to see what our parents can bring to the team! If you are interested in applying or would like to find out more about the role please speak to Mr Atkinson or send him an email via office@djpa-tkat.org

Our mini Police cadets were delighted to receive their certificates from PCSO Williams. Over the 9 week course the cadets learnt first aid, found out about the impact of Hate crime, the role of the Police and had a visit to Margate Police station, where they got to try on uniform and see the Police vans up close! Congratulations to all who took part, we are very proud of you! 🤩
