Welcome to Smarden Primary

On behalf of all the children, staff and governors I’d like to welcome you to our website. I hope that you will find it informative, interesting and that it gives you a deeper insight into what makes Smarden Primary and Nursery School so special.

Happy, Challenged and Secure.

_

At Smarden we believe that all children thrive in an environment in which they are happy, challenged and secure: secure in the knowledge they are safe and cared for; challenged to achieve their best; and happy in the knowledge they are each appreciated for their individuality and their achievements.

Happy, Challenged and Secure.

Curriculum

We have high expectations of all our children in every aspect of school life.

We want our curriculum to enable all pupils to become resilient, independent, curious and creative learners and leaders who think for themselves.
