Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to Kents Hill Junior School, a caring and inclusive community where every child is known, valued and encouraged to thrive.

I hope you find our website informative and helpful and it gives you a good idea about school life at Kents Hill Junior School. However, it can never replace the first-hand experience of coming to visit us to see us in action! Please do contact the school office so we can make sure someone is available to give you a tour.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their very best. Our broad and ambitious curriculum inspires curiosity, develops a love of learning and builds the knowledge, skills and confidence children need for the future. Alongside strong academic outcomes, we place equal importance on personal development, helping our pupils become resilient, independent and responsible global citizens.

Learning at Kents Hill extends far beyond the classroom. Our “50 Things to Do Before You Leave Kents Hill” challenge gives children opportunities to try new experiences, discover talents and create memories that last a lifetime. From whole-school beach days and campfires to growing and cooking produce from our allotment, we want every child to leave us feeling confident, capable and ready for whatever comes next.

We have high aspirations for every pupil and ensure every pupils receives they support they need in order to reach their full potential; including those who dream of securing a grammar school place. Our 11+ preparation is built into the curriculum, with free tuition in school and online, personalised support and targeted mini-lessons designed to nurture ambition and give every child the confidence to aim high.

Our inspiring indoor and outdoor learning spaces, wellbeing areas, library, allotment and dedicated tutoring spaces provide an environment where children can flourish. With a Chromebook for every pupil, we also embrace technology as a tool for learning, creativity and collaboration.

If you are looking for a school where your child will be known, nurtured and inspired to achieve their potential, we would love to welcome you to Kents Hill Junior School.

Be Ready - Be Respectful - Be Safe
