Year 6 Leadership and Work in the Community

In December 2025, the Year 6 Rotakids Team organised the annual Shoe Box Appeal in school, working alongside our partners at the Tunbridge Wells Rotary Club. This is a great opportunity for the year 6 children to develop their time management skills, teamwork and problem solving, as they manage the donations and create interesting gift packs for families across the globe. The Shoe Boxes help our children to have an awareness of others, as well as developing their awareness of being global citizen.

Our Year 5 and 6 children have been working with the Tunbridge Wells Rotary Club since September, 2024. We welcomed the Mayor of Tunbridge Wells, Councillor Nancy Warne, into school to launch the new Rota Kids scheme in the November, with members receiving their officer badges as they were chartered into their new roles. The assembly was also attended by members of the Rotary Club: President; Ian King, District Governor; Brian Davies, Member; Christine Davies and Peter Cornish, the co-ordinator of the recent shoe box appeal our RotaKids members organised and led in school. We were very proud to be the first school in Tunbridge Wells to have a Rotakids Leadership programme.

 The primary aim of RotaKids is to provide young people aged 12 and under with the opportunities to participate enthusiastically in active citizenship to improve the quality of life for their school, local and global communities.

Each year, the Rotakids members each take the Pledge: “As a RotaKid, I endeavour to be fair to all, to serve my community and to show respect for others.” and were presented with Pledge Certificates and badges
