New Chapter for Headcorn Primary School: Celebrating the Launch of the School's New Library!

The Mayor and I recently had the pleasure of joining students, staff, and parents to celebrate the opening of the school’s new library. Its actually a very lovely and hut in the playground.  This incredible addition is a testament to the power of community support and dedication to creating a nurturing environment for our children’s learning.

A Special Thanks to the PTFA

The library project was made possible thanks to the Parents, Teachers, and Friends Association (PTFA), who worked tirelessly to fundraise and bring this vision to life. Their commitment has not only enriched the school but has also fostered a space that will inspire young readers for years to come. The PTFA’s investment underscores the positive impact that community collaboration can have on our local schools, making resources accessible and enjoyable for our students.

A Library Run by the Pupils, For the Pupils

One unique aspect of this library is that it will be open during lunchtimes and managed by a team of Reading Ambassadors from Years 5 and 6. These young leaders have taken on the responsibility of not only running the library but also helping children from younger years with their reading, making this truly a library run by the students, for the students.

Looking Ahead: A Hub of Inspiration and Exploration

As Deputy Mayor and especially as Headcorn Ward Member, it’s inspiring to see Headcorn Primary cultivating a love of reading among its students, and the library is set to become a hub of imagination, learning, and exploration.

The children themselves were an inspiration. The Mayor and I were inspired by them.

Thank you once again to the PTFA, the Reading Ambassadors, and everyone who contributed to this fantastic project. It’s truly a shining example of how our community works together to support and uplift one another. Here’s to many happy hours of reading and learning!
