Welcome from the Head Teacher
As a practising Roman Catholic, I am extremely proud to be the HeadTeacher at St Ethelbert's Catholic Primary School and Nursery. Since starting in September 2020, I lead an experienced, hardworking, outward looking and committed team who look forward to developing the school further for the children and local community. I have worked in Thanet throughout my whole career so know the area very well.

Today, Years 4, 5, and 6 had a very special visit from John from CAFOD! Our pupils got a taste of leadership as they stepped into the role of project managers. Their challenge? Deciding how to spend a £15,000 budget to best support communities in El Salvador. 🇸🇻💰 Huge thanks to John for such an inspiring and interactive session! 🌟

Just before half term, our Year 5 and 6 pupils enjoyed an exciting morning programming Ozobot robots during a special STEM workshop led by the EDT team. The children had a fantastic time developing their coding skills, and we look forward to welcoming the EDT team back for more hands-on learning in the near future! https://www.stethelbertsschool.co.uk/news/?pid=221&nid=23
