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.

🌾🍂 Willow Class Visit St Mary’s Church! 🍂🌾
Today, Willow Class visited St Mary’s Church to deliver our school’s wonderful harvest donations! 🥫🍎
These generous donations will go to the church’s Community Larder, helping to support people and families in need within our local community. 💛
During our visit, we were lucky enough to have a tour of the church with the churchwarden, learning more about this special place. We also took a moment to say a prayer of thanks and reflect on the importance of kindness, generosity and helping others. 🙏
A huge thank you to all our families who kindly contributed to our harvest collection. Your generosity will make a real difference to others in our community! 🌻💕
To celebrate Black History Month, some of our pupils took part in a brilliant `Play It On Pan` workshop, learning about the steel pan and the rich musical heritage of Black and Caribbean culture. From discovering the instrument`s history to playing their first notes, the children were fully immersed, and the sound coming from the hall was fantastic! We were delighted to welcome the Mayor of Dartford, Councillor Avtar Sandhu MBE, and Councillor Jeremy A Kite MBE, Leader of the Conservative Group on Dartford Borough Council, who joined us to see the pupils in action. Thank you both for your support and for celebrating this important month with our school community. Experiences like this help our pupils learn about the cultures and contributions that shape our world, and they`re a joyful reminder of how powerful music can be.
