A warm welcome from our

“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!”

⚽ What a fantastic day for Team Horton Kirby at this year’s Trust Football Tournament on the last Thursday of term!
Our Year 3 and 4 team represented the school brilliantly, showing determination, teamwork and excellent sportsmanship throughout the competition. Highlights included fantastic wins against Saint George’s, Sutton-at-Hone and Stone St Mary’s, with some brilliant goals and outstanding teamwork on display.
After an exciting day of football - including a tense penalty shootout - the team secured an incredible 4th place finish out of 13 schools! We are so proud of every player for their effort, attitude and the way they represented Horton Kirby both on and off the pitch.
A huge thank you to our parents and families for all of their support and encouragement throughout the day. 👏⚽💙
Another sneak peak of our @ellenorcharity @dartfordbearhunt Bear!
Our bear has officially set off on its adventure. After being beautifully varnished, carefully packaged, and prepared for the journey ahead, it’s now on its way to its secret spot on the Bear Trail this summer.
We wonder where our bear will end up!
Last week, we were lucky enough to welcome Lisa from @ellenorcharity to Horton Kirby, where she presented us with a big cheque celebrating the amazing £2,464.41 we have raised as a school through our We’re Going on a Bear Hunt fundraising activities.
This is a fantastic achievement for our whole school community, and we are incredibly proud and grateful to everyone who supported us in raising money for such a wonderful cause.
Good luck to all children taking their SATs this week! 🌟
You have worked incredibly hard and we are so proud of everything you have achieved already. Remember to believe in yourselves, stay calm, and simply do your best.
From all the school staff at Horton Kirby Primary, we are cheering you on every step of the way. 🍀📚✨
