Welcome to Kidmore End CE Primary School
‘Be courageous; be strong; do everything in love’ (1 Corinthians 16: 13-14)
It is my pleasure to be the headteacher of Kidmore End CE Primary School. Kidmore End is a happy, learning-filled primary school, where every individual is valued and can flourish. Kidmore End School first opened its doors in 1856 to eight pupils. We have grown over the years and we now accommodate up to 210 pupils in seven classes. In August 2017, we became an academy as part of the Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST).

School council representatives from Key Stage 2 delivered donations to Springwater Foodbank in Sonning common this morning. They conscientiously checked use by dates and stocked the shelves. Thank you to all of the families who generously donated to our harvest collection. The foodbank supports around 45 households every fortnight in the Sonning Common area. You can donate to the foodbank at any time at a variety of locations including coop and St John's church next door to school. #HarvestFestival #donations #foodbank #sonningcommon
Race for the bass! The determination, perseverance and community spirit on show during our sponsored run was impressive to see across the whole school. The pupils were sponsored to move around the track without stopping for between 15 minutes in Cherry class, through to a massive 40 minutes in Birch class! The children supported and encouraged each other to keep walking, running or even dancing for their target time, all to raise money for our school. Well done to the staff too, who led by example; leading their classes around the running track. Thank you to everyone who sponsored the children. Sponsorship is open until Wednesday.

Our year 5 and 6 netballers had the most fantastic time at the netball tournaments hosted by Gillotts School this week. For many, it was their first time playing a match outside of their PE lesson or the netball club. We are so proud of their enthusiasm, resilience and teamwork. Our year 6s came third, and our year 5s came first ! Well done to everyone who participated, they were happy, competitive yet supportive afternoons in the autumn sunshine. Thank you to Mrs Watkins-Cooke for organising such a fabulous event and to the fantastic sports leaders at Gillotts for leading and umpiring each match. #henleyschools #netball #SportInSchool #competition #funinthesun
