Welcome ...

 

Ms A Maxted and the staff welcome you to the website of Cheriton Primary School, the school is situated on the western edge of the seaside town of Folkestone, Kent.

Cheriton is a friendly school community, where adults work to ensure every child fulfills their potential. We enjoy having a positive relationship with our local community and this ensures our children have a very broad and exciting learning experience.

 

Please use the links above to 'look around' the school, but better still, do contact the school office to make an appointment to visit in person.

 

For those families moving to the Cheriton area please do contact the school office who will be able to give you up to date information on school admissions.

Our recent Harvest Festival had very generous donations from our families. As a result we have been able to put together 100 "Afternoon Tea" bags for local residents and provide cooking ingredients for a homeless shelter. 

 Do you have a child due to start school in September 2022?

This year we are pleased that we are again able to host  tours of the school for prospective parents. We will be hosting  Open Mornings for you to see the school in action and meet our lovely children in October and November. Until you are able to visit the school please watch the film below made earlier this year, if you have any further questions please do contact the school by email (headteacher@cheriton.kent.sch.uk) or by telephone call 01303 276112.

 

 

 

 OFSTED Inspection- October 2019

Cheriton Primary School has been one of the first schools in Kent to be inspected under the new Inspection Framework that came became statutory in September 2019.

The opening paragraph of the report captures all that we strive for here at Cheriton and are delighted that OFSTED recognises this.

"Pupils of all cultures and backgrounds thrive in this friendly and welcoming school. They are exceptionally well cared for and nurtured.

One parent said: ‘Cheriton is a place where every child matters and is valued.’

Pupils are very happy at school. They respect and get on well with their teachers. 

Leaders and staff want the very best for all pupils’ academic and personal achievements. Pupils enjoy learning because teachers make it interesting.

The school motto of ‘Learning to Live’ drives all that the school does."

After the report was published the children had a special film afternoon to celebrate all their hard work.

Do take time to read the complete  OFSTED report that can be found via this link.
