SEC
'Summer Day'
The meeting for all parents who wish to be involved in this event will be on Thursday 11th February at 9am in The Oakery.

Years 7 and 8 - Battlefields Trip
We have organised a trip for Friday 19th March for Years 7 and 8 to visit the battlefields and monuments in the Somme area of France.  Further details will be sent out in a letter.  (Please could you check that your son / daughter has a valid passport.) 

Tennis
We are a small group of Sevenoaks Prep mums that meet at 9am on Monday mornings at the Hollybush tennis courts for tennis lessons. We play for a couple of hours at a cost of £10 per session.  We are coached by Dan from the Tennis Academy (some may already know him as he and other coaches from the Academy come to the Prep in the summer term to teach the children).  We are a very much a mix of abilities and if you do not have a raquet  please don't worry as Dan will lend you one.  If you would like to join us, either just come along (as long as it isn't raining or snowing) or contact Kate Thompson on 01580 241824 or Katherine Barden on 01732 810460 if you need more information.

Reminder - Football shirts please!
Mr Collings and Mr Oatley are travelling to Kenya during half term to see how the work on our school is progressing  and would like to take with them any old or unused club football shirts that your children no longer need. No Sevenoaks Prep footie shirts please. Girls lightweight (non school uniform) summer dresses would also be welcome. If you are able to help please leave any donations in the Prep or Pre-Prep offices.

Road Closure Update
Don't forget  that St Julian Road will be closed from Riverhill to the pond from Monday 8th February until Thursday 11th February from 9am to 4pm.
