 Mereworth shines at the Tonbridge Primary Arts Festival - July 2026

We had a fantastic time taking part and we are incredibly proud of all the children who represented the school with such enthusiasm, confidence and talent.

Our KS2 choir achieved wonderful success, bringing home two awards:

· 1st Place – Lower KS2 (Years 3 & 4) Musical Theatre Song with "This Is Me"

· 3rd Place – Upper KS2 (Years 5 & 6) Pop Song with "Riptide"

Alongside their award-winning performances, our Lower KS2 choir also performed the pop song "Diamonds", while our Upper KS2 choir delighted the audience with the musical theatre favourite "Never Enough".

We were also thrilled with the results of the festival's Art Competition, themed "Under the Sea". You can see the entries here. Congratulations to our prize winners:

· Nancy (Year 6)

· Scarlett (Year 6)

· William (Year 2)

A huge well done to every child who took part. Their hard work, creativity and dedication made us all incredibly proud. Congratulations to everyone involved for another successful year at the Tonbridge Primary Arts Festival!

Courtney Orange Visit - March 2026

We had a fantastic day in March when former gymnast Courtney Orange visited our school. The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the circuits training activity and attending the assembly, where Courtney shared how he lives out so many of our School Values through his life experiences and achievements.

Courtney is a six-time gymnastics champion who competed in the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Although a knee injury sadly brought his gymnastics career to an end, talent scouts soon recognised his incredible dancing ability, leading him to perform with top music stars.

Courtney now works as a wellbeing motivator, inspiring young people to stay active, confident, and positive. He certainly motivated all of us, and we will remember his inspiring reminder to “Believe in yourself” because anything is possible!
