From the Foster's Primary School
The school has a long and proud History dating back to 1727 when William Foster established a foundation for learning. We moved to the new location in September 1998 after having a lengthy history in Welling. The institution, which has two forms of entry, accepts 60 students each academic year. On the property, we also have a 52-seat nursery. Our mission is to give kids a safe, secure atmosphere where they can thrive emotionally and academically. Our school's biggest asset is its students, who never cease to astonish us. We have an open door policy for parents and strongly believe that communication is the key to making school a successful place for your child to learn. If you have any questions at all about the school or the care of your child then please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are here to assist you.
