A warm welcome from our
Head of School
“Our aim is for our children to be confident, caring, resilient, inquisitive young adults with a desire to learn and achieve the best they can in all they do and be best prepared for the future.
Our children are wonderful ambassadors, so if you would like to know more about what makes our school the place that it is, please get in touch, and our children would be delighted to show you around and introduce you to everyone who makes Cliffe Woods Primary School such a special and incredible place”.

On Friday 17th May, Aubree (Year 3) and the other winners of the Aletheia Speaking Competition enjoyed a prize visit to Parliament. They were given a guided tour by Cllr Jordan Meade of Gravesham Council, who highlighted key sites including the Victoria Tower, Westminster Hall and the Sovereign’s Entrance.
Inside one of the chambers of the House of Lords, the pupils had an audience with Viscount Waverley, also known as JD. They asked insightful questions and shared snippets of their presentations, impressing JD with their chosen topics.
It was a fantastic learning opportunity and bonding experience for the pupils and staff of Aletheia Academies Trust.

Do you have any spare fidget toys?
If so, we would be grateful for any donations that we can add to our collection for playtimes.
You can drop these off at the school office or at the coffee box and we will put them out for pupils to play with.

We have just held two mothers’ day tea afternoons, which were very successful. Family members enjoyed scones, jam and cream as well as a welcome cuppa, served by their children. They also all received a growing daffodil arrangement, which looked beautiful and will give pleasure in the future as the bulbs continue to flower and multiply. The atmosphere was lovely, and we would like to extend our thanks to all the staff who worked so hard to make it happen, and in particular our fabulous administration team.

This World Book Day, we have had so much fun celebrating reading! Staff and pupils were invited to come dressed as someone from a book who has inspired them and it was great to see the range of costumes, from David Attenborough to Emmeline Pankhurst!
The children also took part in a whole school Where’s Wally? hunt. The reading ambassadors did a great job of hiding the Wallys all over our playgrounds and then handing out certificates to those who managed to spot one!
Classes also spent time in the afternoon reading with each other. Year 6 really enjoyed reading to the children in Year 2!
