Our School
Cheriton Primary School is situated at the western side of the seaside town of Folkestone. We have served the local community for 55 years and many parents of children who attend the school did so themselves as children.
The school site has large grounds that include a wildlife area, sports field, play areas and outdoor learning spaces. There is plenty of space for our children to run, play and climb on our play equipment.
Our children live in the surrounding area of the school and we strive to both involve our community in the life of the school and to reflect the cultural diversity of our local area.
We are a school that puts children and their families at the heart of everything we do and will make every effort to meet the needs of all children.
The school became a "Co-Operative School" in June 2013 when a trust was formed to formally link Cheriton with Hawkinge Primary School and The Churchill School.
The "Vicus Trust" allows each school to retain their own governing body and identity whilst formalising the very strong and productive school improvement partnership that has existed since 2009.
