From the Sellindge Primary School
Welcome to our school. I would like to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the students, teachers, governors, and parents at Sellindge Primary School. The choice of the best school for a child is one of the most difficult decisions parents must make. At first, it could all seem a little overwhelming and unclear. At Sellindge, we prioritise the needs of the students and devote a great deal of effort to provide them with the best possible instruction. We also aim to make our school a place where kids can learn and grow, one that is joyful, safe, and creative. Despite having conventional values, we want to provide our kids the abilities and qualities they'll need for the remainder of their life. We collaborate closely with parents and carers and make every effort to hear, comprehend, and address any issues or concerns they might have. The staff at our school genuinely enjoys working with kids and is always accessible to talk about any issues pertaining to their education and well-being. In summary, we will use every effort to provide our kids the best upbringing possible and foster a passion of learning that will last a lifetime. We take great pride in our kids and our school and are happy to be a part of the Sellindge Community. Please do not hesitate to contact Sellindge Primary School if you have any questions.
