Snodland CEP School is a group 3, two-form entry primary school with an independent pre-school onsite. We have strong links to our Parish Churches of All Saints and Christ Church and within the wider community, working collaboratively with other schools in the local area.

We are grateful for our large school site which boasts a large playground with play equipment including a trim trail and outdoor gym, forest school, allotment area and large sports field. The EYFS outdoor area has recently been redeveloped and offers children an interactive space to develop free play and can be arranged by teachers to build and explore curriculum focuses.

We have a hall with a purpose-built stage, a ceiling mounted projector and screen to present student performances and collective worship. We are fortunate to have bespoke areas throughout the school which are used to facilitate small group work and targeted interventions, and we have several indoor and outdoor areas which children, including those with SEND can calmly regulate in a supported environment so they are able to access their learning.
