Information about the school

Greatstone Primary School is a welcoming and inclusive primary school located on the beautiful Romney Marsh coast in Kent, just a short walk from the beach. Our unique location provides wonderful opportunities for outdoor learning and helps to shape the rich experiences we offer our pupils. We are proud to be at the heart of the local community and work closely with families to ensure that every child feels valued, supported and inspired to succeed.

Our school is built around our core values of Dreaming, Daring and Caring. These values underpin everything we do and guide our approach to learning, behaviour and relationships. We encourage our children to dream big about their futures, dare to challenge themselves and try new things, and care for one another, their community and the wider world.

At Greatstone Primary School, we place a strong emphasis on nurture and wellbeing. We believe that children learn best when they feel safe, supported and understood. Our staff work hard to create a calm, positive and inclusive environment where every child is known as an individual. Through a nurturing approach, we support pupils to develop confidence, resilience and a love of learning.

Safeguarding is at the centre of everything we do. We are fully committed to promoting and protecting the welfare of all children and expect every member of staff to share this commitment. Our safeguarding culture ensures that pupils feel safe, listened to and supported, and that staff work collaboratively to respond quickly and effectively to any concerns.
