Trips and Activities

At Temple Mill Primary School, we seek to create opportunities for children to experience and excel in a range of activities that enhance and extend National Curriculum. Our School Council often organises special days to raise funds or awareness for organisations like the Air Ambulance. Teachers in their subject leader roles enjoy creating focus events like Reading Challenges or Science Week.

We have welcomed groups and activities like the Family Trust, Guildhall Museum and Astrodome into school to give the children a broader experience of their topics. We have also enjoyed educational trips. Some are local, for example to our local library or over the bridge to Rochester, and some are a little further afield like Horton Kirby and Maidstone Museum. There is an opportunity for our older children to also take on some challenges as part of a residential journey and we all love a trip to the Panto each year, made possible thanks to the fundraising efforts and generosity of our amazing teachers and parents association, TEMPO.

Breakfast and After School Club

We run a Breakfast and After School Club, where children are provided with breakfast and snacks, and a range of activities, including outdoor time when the weather is appropriate.

Breakfast club takes place in a safe, secure and relaxed environment for Temple Mill Pupils before the school day begins. There are a range of fun activities including creative projects, sports and games as well as colouring and a book corner. It is a great opportunity for children to play and catch up with their friends and make new ones from different year groups.

The club will open from 7.30am until 8.45am Monday to Friday during term time only. Children will then be escorted to their classrooms. Breakfast consists of toast or cereal with a selection of healthy fruit snacks and a choice of a healthy drink.

After School Clubs run from 3.20pm through to either 4.30pm or 5.30pm Monday to Thursday. You can choose the booking to suit your needs. Again, there are a range of activities for the children to take part in and a snack is also provided.

Club charges are as follows:

Breakfast Club 7.30 to start of school	£5.50 per session
After School Club until 4:30pm	£5.50 per session
After School Club until 5:30pm	£8 per session
