From the Smarden Primary School
I'd like to extend a warm greeting to you on our website on behalf of all the students, teachers, and governors.
At Smarden, we firmly believe that every child can flourish in a setting where they can feel safe, challenged, and happy—secure in the knowledge that they are loved and cared for, challenged to do their best work, and happy in the knowledge that they are each valued for their uniqueness and accomplishments.
All of our kids must meet our high standards in all they do at school.
Through excellent learning opportunities and high standards of behaviour, we work to help each student reach their potential.
We want to help them become more independent and self-assured while realising that everyone has a responsibility to uphold in our learning community.
We create a vibrant and engaging environment for this, acknowledging that learning occurs through a variety of learning methods both within and outside the classroom.
We warmly welcome parents and carers of our students into our community because we recognise the crucial part they play in their kids' education.
One of the most difficult decisions we as parents must make is selecting the best elementary school for our children.
At Smarden, we make an effort to provide for our kids in the way that suits them the best.
In a nutshell, Smarden is a school where students of different skills, backgrounds, and backgrounds can feel safe, successful, and happy.
Smarden joined The Kemnal Academies Trust (TKAT) in January 2011 with the straightforward goal of securing the future of our school and raising the educational standards and possibilities we can provide for our students.
