Information about the school

Senacre Wood is a single form entry primary school situated on the outskirts of the county town of Maidstone. Set in large, wooded grounds, the school benefits from excellent resources, a hard working and supportive staff and enthusiastic, well motivated children.

"Pupils love school. They are well nurtured and cared for, personally and academically. This purposeful, busy school balances a happy but controlled atmosphere. It is calm but not regimented. Pupils are warm, friendly, engaging and curious. They behave respectfully and embrace the wide range of opportunities on offer."

"Rich opportunities in music, art and physical education enhance pupils’ enjoyment of school. They sing well and play instruments with control and precision. Their creative and well-developed artwork adorns the walls."

"The school wants the very best for every pupil. Pupils achieve well in a wide range of subjects. Staff pay careful attention to helping any pupil who is behind to catch up. Year 6 pupils movingly expressed how sad they will be to leave the school next summer. It is obvious why.
