From the Allington Primary School
We are immensely proud of our staff, our students, and our collective triumphs at Allington Primary School, which are supported by our school's values and beliefs. We take great pride in being a school where kids enjoy both learning and playing. The school has always received at least a "Good" rating from Ofsted, so we were happy to receive a "Outstanding" rating in November 2008. Since 1970, our school has served the neighbourhood. Non-denominational and accepting students from the ages of four to eleven, it became a foundation school on September 1st, 1999. Since November of 2003, it has been a two-form entrance school. We established ourselves as an independent academy in December 2012, and along with Barming School, we joined the Orchard Academy Trust in July 2016. The school's administration and faculty are committed to giving the students a well-rounded education that is also individualised to match their requirements. We offer a nurturing, joyful, and positive environment where kids can reach their full potential, gain self-confidence, and learn to respect others and their environment. In order to further realise our commitment to the notion of a home-school collaboration in education, prospective parents are asked to tour the facility and get to know the teachers and students.
