Information about the school

Kemsley Primary Academy was opened in September 2004 and is a single form entry primary school with a nursery. The main school can take up to 210 children, 30 in each class. The nursery is able to take 52 children for five half-day sessions of two and a half hours – 26 children in the morning and 26 children in the afternoon; many children stay all day as part of our flexible care offer and for those entitled to 30 hours provision.

Our school ethos is centred upon our values of Exploration, Resilience, Positivity and Aspiration. We firmly believe that every child has the right to fulfil their potential and that we are all life-long learners. We encourage our children to be the very best that they can be by inspiring them to try and try again. We teach them that it is not a matter of not being able to do it, it is about not being able to do it YET! We are highly aspirational for our children’s development and constantly look for new ways to develop our pupils’ schema. We achieve this through our commitment to the 11b411 project.

Outside, the grounds are laid out into separate play areas; Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2) play together and Key Stage 2 (Years 3 – 6) play together although we encourage free flow around the areas at lunch times to allow the children to play together regardless of year group. The large field is ideal for games. We also have a woodland conservation area which we use for our Forest School! We have an open door policy and value the support of parents. We are pleased to welcome parent helpers into school.
