Information about the school

OneSchool Global UK Maidstone Campus (formerly Focus School Linton Park Campus) is an independent, all-through, co-educational, non-selective school for children aged 7-18. It has a strong Christian ethos and there are 195 pupils on its roll. Linton Park is situated in Maidstone, Kent. The school was established on its current site in 2008 in purpose-built accommodation, which has been further developed since including a new state-of-the-art Learning Centre for Primary students.

Why should I work at OneSchool Global UK Maidstone Campus? Modern, cutting-edge facilities in bright, clean, fully resourced, purpose-built accommodation. Friendly, supportive working environment with a real sense of family. Professionally supportive structure which gives a sense of value and purpose to every member of staff whatever their role, enabling meaningful continual professional development. Beautiful setting in the leafy Kent countryside with easy access routes to London and the rest of the UK. Students who value a top-class education and are engaged and interested in lessons, wrapped around by a parent and wider community group who appreciate the efforts of their staff. In a national Education Picture where teachers often feel as if they are painting walls, a chance to create an educational work of art where there is time, space and opportunity to work on the fine detail.

Focus Learning Trust was established as a registered charity in 2003 for the advancement of education, primarily providing leadership and support to its network of 23 UK, non-selective, independent schools which are registered as schools with a religious character, following the national curriculum.

We are part of the OneSchool Global network – one of the most extensive and progressive networks of schools and educational support services in the world. With schools in 20 countries worldwide, our 9000 students are benefiting from the amazing results of global collaboration and cutting-edge educational methods.

In April 2019, the entire OneSchool entity rebranded globally, hence our new look and our name change from Focus School to OneSchool Global UK. This better reflects our teaching and learning strategy and makes us truly one global school.
