Thanet Lifeguard Club is a local, volunteer-led community club dedicated to teaching young people essential water safety and lifesaving skills. Their Rookie Lifesaver Programme is designed for children aged 7–12 who are confident swimmers and are looking to continue developing their skills beyond traditional swimming lessons. With coastal communities such as ours, Thanet Lifeguard Club believe that water safety education is an invaluable life skill. These sessions help children build confidence, teamwork, leadership and first aid knowledge, while learning practical lifesaving techniques in a safe, enjoyable environment.

Way to go, Year 6! 🌟 On Wednesday, our oldest pupils tackled the vital topic of Online Safety with their upcoming move to secondary school in mind. They did a brilliant job debating and ranking different scenarios from 'highest risk' to 'lowest risk'. The staff were incredibly impressed by just how much knowledge the children already have and how beautifully they engaged with the discussion. They are officially ready to navigate the digital world safely as they take their next big steps! 💻👏
