Nestled in the picturesque village of Charing, near Ashford, our school is a thriving and rapidly growing community. Currently, we have over 165 children enrolled across seven classes from Reception to Year 6, and we are proud to serve this vibrant and expanding population. Our preschool, which opened in September 2022, is an integral part of our school family, offering early years education that lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

What truly distinguishes our school is our children. Supported by the Aquila family, we are committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment where every child is nurtured not only academically but also spiritually and emotionally. We believe in developing intellectual curiosity alongside a strong moral character, ensuring our pupils grow into well-rounded individuals who are prepared to thrive in all aspects of life. This holistic approach is at the heart of everything we do.

Our school offers a unique blend of enriching experiences that set us apart. We are fortunate to have an amazing outdoor environment, including a forest school for all children and OPAL play, which encourages creativity and physical activity. Our strong connections with Godinton House, the local church, and the wider village community enrich our curriculum and support network. Additionally, our free after-school clubs, the Gold standard School Games Mark, and specialist teaching in Art, PE, and Music for every child in Key Stage 2 on Fridays highlight our commitment to providing a broad and balanced education.

Behind these achievements is a warm and caring team of staff and a dedicated PTFA that works tirelessly to support the school community. Our children consistently achieve strong outcomes, reflecting the high standards we set and the supportive environment we foster. It is a privilege to lead such a dynamic school where every child is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
