Last November the Hever Hort held a committee meeting to finalise the schedule and programme of activities for 2019. One of our committee members brought a photograph, taken in her garden, of a daffodil in full bloom! This shows the dilemma we face every year, should we change the dates of our shows to reflect changes in climate, or stick to the same date, usually around the beginning of April? Looking back over recent years, we have tended to stick to the same date and trusted that there will still be enough daffodils and tulips to mount a good show. We seem to have done pretty well and will be keeping our fingers crossed for our show this year, which is on 6 April. Of course, we are not solely reliant on daffodils, as there are classes covering other flowers and shrubs, flower arrangements, children’s, and domestic exhibits, the latter including lemon and whisky marmalade. If you would like to LINK enter, the closing date is Wednesday 3 April, you can find the full schedule in the Hort section of www.hever.org. Added to the exhibits are the refreshments of home made cakes and tea, so we have an irresistible combination and if you have a bit of spare time between 2 and 4pm, we would love to see you. After the Spring Show the next event is the Plant Sale, on Saturday, 11th May. This is a combination of bought in plants and those grown and donated by members of the Society. Doug Bowern Chair 1 news from the pews It is good to see a vibrant band of boys (all boys in Inspire!).

  • Hever Church of England Aided Primary School: Admissions Policy for September 2018
    HEVER CHURCH OF ENGLAND AIDED PRIMARY SCHOOL: ADMISSIONS POLICY FOR SEPTEMBER 2018 Hever Church of England Aided Primary School has a distinctive Christian ethos which is at the heart of the school and provides an inclusive, caring and supportive environment where children learn and flourish in a setting shaped by our core Christian values of Love, Respect and Wisdom. We welcome applications from all members of the community and we ask all parents to respect the Christian ethos of our school and its importance to the local community. This does not affect the right of any parents to apply and be considered for a place for their child at Hever Church of England Aided Primary School. Parents wishing to send their children to the school are advised to make an appointment to meet the Headteacher for a tour of the school. To apply for a place at Hever Church of England Aided Primary School, parents will need to complete and return two separate forms. The school’s Supplementary Information Form should be completed and returned to the school (along with a letter from the Minister for faith priority places), and a Kent Reception Common Application Form (RCAF) also needs to be submitted online or returned to Kent County Council by the January deadline. Usually all children will enter school at the beginning of September. Once the children start at Hever Church of England Aided Primary School they will attend full time within the first three weeks, following three short visits in the term preceding entry. However, parents do have the right to defer their child’s school place or to take up the place part-time until the start of the term in which their child reaches compulsory school age, if they wish.

Children born between the 1 st April and 31 st August (also known as ‘summer born’) must start school at the beginning of the April term if they wish to keep their offer. Where parents wish for their summer born child to defer entry until the start of Year 1, they must refuse their offered place, which may be offered to a different child, and then reapply through the In Year process, recognising that a place may not be available. These applications should be made during the last month of Reception Year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Rural Housing Enabler (RHE) undertook a parish wide survey to ascertain if there are shortfalls in affordable housing provision within the parish of Hever which includes the villages of Hever, Markbeech and Four Elms. This report provides overall information as well as analysis of housing need. A survey was posted to every household within the parish in May 2018. 516 surveys were distributed with 127 surveys being returned, representing a 25% response rate. Analysis of the returned survey forms identified that 83% of respondents are owner occupiers. 67% of respondents have lived in the parish for over 10 years. High property prices and a predominance of privately owned homes means that some local people are unable to afford a home within the parish.

  • Welcome to the Benefice of St. Mary's Chiddingstone, & St. Luke's, Chiddingstone Causeway
    Welcome to the Benefice of St. Mary's Chiddingstone, & St. Luke's, Chiddingstone Causeway Welcome to our Parish Profile. The profile describes who we are, where we are, what it is like to live here, our spiritual life and our hopes for the future. Introduction to our two Parishes Chiddingstone is approximately 7 miles from Sevenoaks and a similar distance from both Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Easy access to these towns combined with local rail links to London and the motorway network means that, while the parishes are predominantly rural most of our parishioners no longer work in the traditional country occupations. We have a thriving primary school in which the number of enrolled pupils has grown to over 200. There are numerous schools in Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells; including grammar, faith based and comprehensive schools. The parish is unusually widespread (the 2nd most sparsely populated in Kent) due to its origins of pig-dens developing into farms, with only small village centres. of these, Chiddingstone village centre (school, shop, Castle Inn and a few Tudor houses) is owned by The National Trust. Uniquely within the diocese, the parish has two thriving churches which share the main services (half a year each) but the parishioners join together as one congregation whether at St Mary`s or St Luke`s. Similarly, the two PCCs hold one joint meeting. Shopping Locally there are village shops, including Post Offices, in Chiddingstone and Chiddingstone Causeway for the ’forgotten necessities’. For regular shopping, the towns of Edenbridge, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells offer a selection of the principal high street retailers for food and clothing Local Organisations and Clubs There are many thriving clubs organised by the parishioners.

See Principles on main webpage. Flowery meadows, summer pasture, woodland, streams, villages In Brief This is the perfect long circular summer walk in West Kent, close to the East Sussex border. The beauty of the ever-varying countryside is truly breathtaking, with wildflower meadows, streams, bridges, small enchanting woods, pretty houses, churches, rocks, views. There are several patches of nettles and brambles (especially north of Markbeech), so long trousers are necessary. Most of the paths are pleasant, grassy and easy, so any strong footwear is fine but boots are advisable, especially after damp weather. The stile count is high and this also makes the walk impractical with a large dog. For shorter options, the walk can be split into two halves using the Markbeech Cut described at the end. The walk begins at Hever Station , Bird's Eye Hever Hoath Kent, postcode TN8 7ER . If you View Corner come by car, there is a charge of Leg 1 £2.50 (as 2018) using a smart- phone app (Reddit).
