Information about the school

Bysing Wood is an inclusive, community‑centred primary school on the western side of Faversham. Our school is shaped by the families we serve; families with strong local ties, varied life experiences and a shared hope for their children’s future. We are proud to be a place where those hopes are met with warmth, ambition and a genuine commitment to every child.

Over the years, the school has continued to evolve, enriching its provision and strengthening its curriculum so that children experience learning that is engaging, meaningful and connected to the world around them. Our Forest School, pre‑school provision and well‑developed learning spaces all play a part in creating opportunities for curiosity, creativity and confidence to flourish.

As a founding member of EKC Schools Trust, Bysing Wood benefits from being part of a wider family of schools, colleges and specialist teams that share a commitment to raising aspirations across East Kent. This partnership strengthens the opportunities we offer our children, from enriched curriculum experiences and projects to early exposure to future pathways and access to wider expertise, resources, and community links that broaden their horizons.

What truly defines Bysing Wood is its sense of belonging. Relationships sit at the heart of everything we do, between pupils, staff and families, and we work in partnership to ensure every child feels secure, valued and supported to progress. Our approach to teaching and learning is thoughtful and purposeful, designed to help pupils build strong foundations academically while also developing resilience, character and a belief in their own potential.

Our school values — Believe, Wonder, Progress and Succeed — are woven into daily life. They reflect our belief that children thrive when they are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, stretch themselves and take pride in their achievements. These values guide our ambitions for pupils and shape the way we work together as a school community.

Bysing Wood is a school where inclusion truly matters. It is a setting that values compassion, creativity and commitment, a place where staff make a meaningful, lasting contribution to children’s lives and to its community.

Bysing Wood is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our young people. Safer recruitment is paramount, and all roles are subject to rigorous pre-employment and safeguarding checks, as detailed in Keeping Children Safe in Education, including an enhanced DBS and Barred List check. Our commitment to safeguarding is underpinned by our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and robust processes and checks which are in place across the Trust.

If you share in our vision, our commitment to safeguarding and believe you would strengthen our community we want to hear from you!
