Kilmorie Primary School Newsletter - 11th September 2026

{item_alt_tag}

Friday 11th September 2026

Dear Parents and Carers, 

The autumnal weather has certainly arrived this week, reminding us that the seasons are changing. Please could I ask that children bring a suitable coat to school whenever rain is forecast, so that they can remain comfortable and enjoy their time outdoors whenever possible. 

The children have quickly settled into their learning routines and it has been wonderful to see the children’s enthusiasm across the school. A particular highlight has been welcoming our new Reception children and their families to Kilmorie. They have made a fantastic start and it has been a pleasure getting to know them. A very warm welcome to our Kilmorie community. 

In Monday's assembly, we focused on the theme of kindness. We talked about individuals who have shown extraordinary kindness and courage, such as Harriet Tubman, as well as the many small acts of kindness that we can all demonstrate every day at school, at home and within our wider community.  

As always, if you would like any information or clarification regarding your child's timetable, learning routines or school day, please do not hesitate to speak to your child's class teacher. We are always happy to help and value the partnership we have with our families.

The Big Half Marathon

Kilmorie Takes on The Big Half ??‍????‍?? 

On Sunday 6 September, 15 amazing Kilmorie parents, carers, teachers and staff took on The Big Half to raise money for our school. 

It was a challenging day, with temperatures reaching 26°C, but spurred on by the crowds and their cheer squads (including Tully!) the team truly exemplified the Kilmorie quality of resilience. Amazingly, every single runner made it to the finish line in one piece! 

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our school community, the team has raised over £3,500 for Kilmorie so far. A huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored the runners and supported them along the way. 

There is still time to donate here:

Well done to Dan W, Alan B, Rob H, Helen W, Gary C, Dan F, Natalie W, Ian C, Elisha B, Kate M, Lee D, Philippe G, Susanna D, Isla C-F and Lauryn B. What an achievement!
