The Federation of Saltwood and Bodsham Schools is a successful and longstanding collaboration between two high performing Church of England Primary Schools located in areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the heart of Kent. Both schools were rated as Good with Outstanding features by Ofsted in 2022 and both schools have Outstanding SIAMs reports following their most recent church inspections.

Saltwood School is a popular one form entry school situated in the pretty village of Saltwood just outside Hythe in Kent. With around 210 children on role, the school offers a friendly and welcoming approach to all families. The school benefits from a well resourced site with large grounds and access to local resources such as Brockhill Country Park and Hythe Beach. The school prides itself on its links with the community and children regularly visit care homes and support local charities.

Bodsham School is a small rural school set in the heart of the beautiful Kentish countryside near to Wye. There are 78 pupils on roll arranged in four classes. Year R are taught separately and there are mixed age classes from Year 1 to Year 6. The school has a genuine family ethos and there is strong support from our community of parents and carers. Children receive a rich and varied education in our lovely grounds and we use the school minibus to help children experience trips to local sites of interest.

All staff in our Federation benefit from sharing staff development events, having regular opportunities for collaboration in areas such as moderation and planning and accessing the support and resources that both schools can provide. We are supported by a single dedicated Governing Body who work tirelessly to ensure our children receive the best education possible.
