The holy month of Ramadan is here, its arrival signalled in the night sky by the glowing crescent moon.

Welcome back to a brand new half-term at King’s Academy Rowner. We hope you all had a restful break and are as excited as we are to start this term with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

While our children have started their well-earned half-term break, today has been a fantastic day of learning for our staff at King’s Academy Rowner. And what better way to celebrate our love for learning than on Valentine’s Day. We began the day with an address from our CEO, Mr Nick Cross, who encouraged us to continue embedding our vision—opportunity and success on a global stage—and our values of honesty, faith, and courage into everything we do. His words set the tone for a day filled with professional growth and collaboration.

Next, we delved into a refresher session of ‘Opening Doors’ with the one and only Bob Cox. Immersing ourselves in the world of literature and writing, we explored ways to ignite a love for writing, reading and creativity in our classrooms. It was a true reminder of the power of high-quality texts to inspire both children and teachers alike! Our Teaching Assistants also engaged in a variety of sessions, further developing their skills and learning new strategies to support children across the curriculum. Their dedication to continuous improvement is invaluable in helping every child thrive.

A highlight of the day was sharing this learning experience with one of our family schools, King’s Academy Gomer. We always love welcoming them to Rowner, and it was wonderful to strengthen our shared sense of belonging within our wider team. At King’s Academy Rowner, we love learning—and by investing in our own development, we ensure we provide the very best for our children.

Wishing all our families a wonderful half-term!
