What a fantastic half term!

A big thank you to 4uth and The Kimberley Family of Schools who provided funding to run free activities over at Kimberley Primary School during half term. Over 200 young people age 5-15 took part in activities including DJ Workshop, Graffiti workshop, Climbing Wall, Archery plus more!

Remember, your feedback is important so if you took part in an activity or you are a parent whose child took part then I would like to hear your feedback! What was good? What activities would you have liked to try? What difference did this make to half term? Email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

September 2011

Welcome back to a new school year! Over the summer the transition week held at The Kimberley School for those pupils in Year 6 going into Year 7 was very successful. Over 50 pupils attended and got to take part in a variety of activities for free. More information and pictures from the event can be found on the ‘Activities and Services’ page of this website.

Please look out for the latest edition of the Extended Services newsletter which will be given to each pupil in the Primary schools towards the end of October and can be found on the VLE for The Kimberley School students.

June 2011

Unfortunately, due to lack of interest the adult first aid course that was meant to start Thursday 16th June has been cancelled.

Thank you to those who attended Adult Learners' Week and a big thank you to Curves Gym, Kimberley Leisure Centre, Castle College, Virgin Vie, Caroline Bradley, Fundsport UK and the Family Information Service.

Thank you also to those adults who attended the Zumba taster session at Kimberley Primary on May 17th. We will look to set up a regular class as attendance was high and keep you posted.

Remember Adult First Aid will be starting at Mornington Primary on June 16th, if you would like to attend please let me know. More information can be found on the adult learning section of this website.

There will also be a transition week running from 25th-29th July at The Kimberley School for Year 6 pupils. It is free to attend and consent forms will be going out to pupils shortly. More information about this can be found in the 'Activities and Services' section of this website.

March 2011

Look out for the 3rd edition of the Extended Services Newsletter that will be coming out in the next few weeks.

Unfortunately, due to low attendance the parent/carer coffee morning will no longer be running. Despite changing the time and venue, numbers have still not increased. However, I would love to hear your thoughts on what time and day you would like a coffee morning to be ran in the Kimberley area. If there is enough response then a new coffee morning will be set up!

Happy New Year to everyone and hope you had a great Christmas!

The 2nd edition of the Extended Services newsletter has now been distributed and hope you all received this well.

The biggest change is that the parent/carer coffee morning will be moving from Kimberley Comprehensive to Gilthill Primary School 9-11am every first Wednesday of the month. It is free to attend but donations are welcome!

I would also like to know if there are any adults interested in taking part in an accredited First Aid in the Workplace Course. The cost is £22 for the 10 week course but it is free if in receipt of means tested benefit. If I have enough people who respond then I will set the course up in the Kimberley area. The minimum number needed is 8. If you are interested please contact me on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Before Christmas, there will be an adult suggestion box placed in each school reception. It is there for your ideas on how extended services can help you. For example, what sort of activities or courses would you like to attend that are not available at the minute?

Hi Everyone!

My name is Camilla Denham and I am the new Extended Services Co-ordinator for The Kimberley Family of Schools.

I'm really looking forward to working with the family of schools and building on the work that has already been done.

Knowing how things have developed in Arnold and Eastwood, it's an exciting opportunity and hopefully we can bring some positive things to Kimberley.
