Information about the school

Folkestone Primary Academy is part of Folkestone All-Age Academy. We are a two form entry school but have chosen to organise children into smaller classes of 20, recognising the many benefits for both children and members of staff.

Each year group work closely as a team: we ensure that less experienced members of staff work alongside more experienced so that they are well-supported. Children and members of staff form relationships quickly in smaller classes. More time can be spent supporting small groups and individuals which has a positive effect on pupils’ progress and achievement.

We are a forward-thinking school, committed to enabling children to acquire fundamental literacy and maths skills, while developing individual strengths and talents. We are determined that every child in our school is happy and successful, through providing high standards of academic learning opportunities and pastoral care. Learning is underpinned by three key aspects of practice: Building Learning Power (children understanding themselves as learners); Assessment for Learning; and Talk for Writing.
