Following the announcement from Buckingham Palace of the death of our sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a period of National Mourning has started and will continue until the end of the State Funeral.

The official date of the State Funeral is Monday 19th September 2022. This day will be a bank holiday therefore Hartsdown Academy will be closed on this day as a mark of respect.

The Department for Education has stated ‘…normal attendance is expected throughout the National Mourning period, other than the bank holiday.’

Catching the bus to school

20th June 2022Mrs C Titherington

To ease the anxieties children may be feeling about catching the bus, the team at Stagecoach South East decided to create a video showing pupils the dos and don’ts when travelling on the bus.

The video teaches students how they can acquire a bus pass through the KCC website, how to check timetables, where to wait for the bus and how to behave on it. The link to the video is as follows: https://youtu.be/YtPHtHiCPxU

Although this is an introductory video for children coming into year 7, the video serves as a reminder for students who are already taking the bus how to do so properly.
