We are a community school with pupils from the village of Withyham (20 minutes away from Tunbridge Wells) and the wider area; all are welcome including those with a faith and those with none.

We work together to foster children who are compassionate, respectful, happy, tolerant, curious and collaborative as well as academically successful.
