Let's Celebrate!
The Hythe School is filled with fantastic, happy children who achieve amazing things both in and out of school and we want to celebrate their hard work, success and achievements here.
If your child has received a certificate, medal or trophy, shown courage or kindness or would like to share something special they have achieved, please let us know and we will be proud to share this here and in school.
We also want to share with you here the lovely feedback we have had from families, volunteers visitors and Ofsted about our school.
Please scroll down to see our inspirational children and to read
what our families, visitors and volunteers have to say about us.

Oscar in Year 5 Kingfishers has made this incredible model of the solar system as part of the class science topic. It is so detailed and must have taken an astronomical amount of time. We think it's out of this world!
December 2019
Daisy in 4 Wrens, Casper in Reception Caterpillars and Teagan, a former Hythe pupil, all stood outside
in the cold in Windsor on Sunday singing Christmas carols and songs to support the charity, National
Deaf Children’s Society. These superstars helped to raise the incredible sum of £564! We are very
proud of them.

Niamh (Yr 5) is a keen swimmer and competed in the Windsor Swimming Club Level 4 Meet at the weekend. In her age group and category she won 1st in Freestyle, 1st in Backstroke, 1st in Butterfly and 2nd in Breaststroke. It’s only her second time swimming competitively. That's amazing!

We love hearing about our children's achievements and even more so when we can see that one achievement leads to another. Here is Mia once more, from Year 3 Dragonflies, who is doing brilliantly at karate and has now been awarded a green belt. Well done Mia!

We received this lovely news from the mum of a former pupil. Her daughter Nicole has been awarded a PhD from Hull University and is looking to start a research fellowship. It's fantastic to learn how well our pupils get on in their future lives.
June 2019
We received this email from Niamh's mum.
'Please see attached a photo of Niamh and Oscar from Year 4 Wrens who were both selected to play squash for the U10 Runnymede Team this weekend at Surrey Youth Games. Both joined the squash lessons as complete novices and really enjoyed their lessons.
Both were also selected to be Surrey Youth Games Ambassadors this year, helping to promote the games before and leading up to the event. A role they relished.
On the day, imagine their delight when Mr Roots appeared at Surrey Sports Park to support them! .......
A special big 'Thank you' to Mr Roots for giving his time up and supporting them, especially on a weekend. The children (and parents) really did appreciate it.'
Well done Niamh and Oscar. It is always a delight to hear about our pupils' wonderful achievements!

Another reason to celebrate our children's involvement in the Surrey Youth Games. Lily was picked to play squash despite having only started playing the game 6 weeks earlier! She competed for Waverley borough instead of Runnymede but she won 2 of her 3 matches. Her parents are really proud of her as are we!
June 2019
Isaac represented Team Runnymede in the Surrey Youth Games and took part in the 2K fun run and had a great time. As an ambassador he supported Team Runnymede U13 squash for the rest of the day. What a star!

Congratulations to Mia in Year 2 Hedgehogs who has been awarded a yellow belt in KUGB Karate. What a fantastic achievement!

We were delighted when a team from our local British Gas offices offered to volunteer their services to help us improve the school site. Fourteen wonderful, smiling, very hardworking people arrived wearing old clothes and armed with garden tools to overhaul our wildlife area as well as to paint a large area of fencing.
Having such fantastic community links is most definitely a cause for celebration. Thank you to everyone who came along from British Gas for your support, and especial thanks to Sule McBride for organising the team.

Jessica's Mum told us that it also acknowledges the awards received by her at The Hythe for her art work. She emailed 'All I can say is 'Thank you' to her teachers for recognising her talents and natural abilities. Miss Bhoghal from Year 1 and Mrs Burridge from Reception are brilliant ….'
Here is a photo of Jessica receiving her award from the Mayor of Spelthorne. What a fantastic achievement! Well done Jessica.

We received this lovely letter from Carers UK following Year 6 Owls fundraising for the charity in December 2018.

It was wonderful to welcome Hannah and Megan from Carers UK to talk to Year 6 Owls about their charity on 26 February. The children presented them with a cheque for £540.87 to help the charity with its vital work supporting carers. The money was raised by their Young Enterprise project last December in conjunction with British Gas supported by Sinead Hudson. We are very proud of all their hard work and it was fascinating for them to learn more about how their donation would help.

This picture is of Maddie and Layla who, after spending one of their days over half term making cakes with their Nanny, decided to have a cake sale outside the house. After learning about Marie Curie in a recent assembly, Maddie wanted to raise money so that she could help people who are sick, like Marie Curie did. They raised a total of £28.55! What a fantastic thing to do - well done girls!
Daisy in Year 3 Dragonflies achieved first prizes and best junior exhibit awards for her beautiful drawing and creative craft entries at Egham Show and Chertsey Show this summer. Lovely work Daisy!
Mia in Year 1 Rabbits was awarded an orange belt for KUGB Karate. Well done Mia!
Although they didnt win, they thoroughly enjoyed the day. Their performance in the friendly games was excellent, winning 3, drew 1, lost 1. Well done Niamh and all the girls in the team!
Anna Christodoulou, Royal Holloway University's Science Outreach Officer, ran a particle physics workshop for Year 6 on 21 February. The children loved it and we thought we would share Anna's response to our thank you email with you all : 'They were all so well behaved and so willing to participate that they made it truly enjoyable for me as well.'
Some of our children visited Butser Farm in February - here's what the Schools Coordinator had to say about them : 'It was lovely to welcome you again at Butser yesterday. Phelim and Helen have asked me to email you to say how much they enjoyed the day. Everyone was so engaged and the children asked very intelligent questions.'
We are very proud of our Year 6 children. They were fantastic hosts at our Harvest Festival Tea Party for local senior citizens. We would also like to celebrate the generosity of our families; your donations filled half a dozen tables! Thank you.

The Hythe Community Primary School So get clever here. Come and learn here because: We are kind and always remember we are always here for you. If you are lonely we can help. We will never let you down. Do you need a friend? The Hythe are always here to help. The Hythe is a lovely school and you get to do really fun things but you should know if you're naughty you might get a yellow card. If you want to come you just come. The more the merrier. We love the Hythe. We all have good friends. We all do great learning. We are never going to let you down. If you need help you get it here. We do fun things. Our teachers are lovely. Come here we are the best learning school ever. |
