Hot Weather Warning
24th Jun 2026

Whilst at this moment we are still open, we do advise any parent of a child with a known health condition, for example epilepsy, to consider keeping them at home. We will obviously approve this absence. Any other child whose parents feel they want to keep their child at home due to the weather and how this may impact their health/wellbeing are free to do so. Please phone into school this morning to let us know if you are keeping your child at home.

Parent and Carer School Age Childcare Survey
9th Jun 2026

School Age Childcare Survey The need for childcare does not stop when children reach school-age, we know that families continue to need childcare before and after school, and during the school holidays. As a result, the Department for Education is taking a strategic approach to the future of School Aged Childcare (SAC) which builds on the successes of programmes such as the National Wraparound Childcare programme, the Holidays Activities and Food programme (HAF) and the national rollout of the Free Breakfast Club programme, to ensure families are supported, year-round, by an outstanding SAC system. The Education People’s Early Years and Childcare Service is conducting a survey on behalf of Kent County Council, of parents and carers to determine their term time and holiday childcare requirement for children aged 0-14 and up to 18 for disabled children. The information will help us assess if there are any gaps in provision and how best to meet the needs of all families.

Changes to Behaviour Guidance
1st Apr 2026

Foreland Fields School uses the PROACT-SCIP®UK approach to addressing behaviour. This approach, of which around 70% is proactive, acknowledges that additional support may be required in order to keep pupils and adults safe. From 1st April, Governing bodies of maintained schools and the proprietors of other schools must ensure that procedures are in place for reporting each significant use of force to the parents of the student involved as soon as practicable after the incident. Therefore, should your child’s behaviour necessitate the use of restrictive person specific intervention, you will be informed both verbally (as we do now) and in writing, as soon as practicable after the incident.
