Welcome to Charing Church of England Primary School
You are warmly welcomed to the Charing Church of England Primary School Website. We hope that you find this website useful, informative and easy to navigate. If you would like to know more about us, please come and visit – we love to have visitors and show people just what makes us special!
We are a small village primary school in the beautiful village of Charing, close to Ashford. Every child in our school is valued as an individual and we have a supportive, nurturing team to make sure that every child and parent feels supported and happy at our school.
In July 2017, we converted to an academy as part of the Aquila, The Diocese of Canterbury Multi-Academy Trust. We believe that this is a positive, exciting step for our school and will enable us to have a greater say in the future of our school.
