We celebrated our Harvest Festival on Wednesday 3 October with a whole school assembly.  All of our classes produced some work to celebrate this important time of year. We listened to songs and poems and we saw a variety of beautiful artwork completed by the children. Thank you for all of the kind donations which were sent in, these were given to 'Vinnie's Diner' who were thrilled to receive such a large amount of food which they will use to feed some of the homeless people in Ashford.

At Goat Lees, we are very serious about recycling in order to care for our planet. This year, we will all be learning about recycling and we would like you to join our campaign to recycle as much as we can. One of the projects that we started last year was to gather old/ripped plastic bags and instead of throwing them away, Miss Chapman and Year 6 created a masterpiece on our playground fence.​

Last year, we spent some time looking at the values that are important to Goat Lees. We asked the children and their parents, our school staff and our school governors for their views. We now try to work on showing these values every day. Key stage 2 created these displays to show our values: Pride, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.

After school clubs have started for Terms 1 and 2. The clubs include: school reporting, football, rota-kids, film, art, board games, storytelling and many more. All of the teachers and teaching assistants have their own clubs and we would like to thank them for giving up their time to run these.
