Phoenix Community Primary School is a one-form entry school situated on the outskirts of Ashford. We benefit from extensive grounds and a well set out modern building. The school is well resourced and, as such, is able to provide opportunities for children significantly beyond that of the National Curriculum.

At Phoenix, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming and safe environment for all members of our community: pupils, parents, wider family, staff and visitors. We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils. The majority of visitors comment on the warm, friendly atmosphere and the attractive environment.

In 2026, we were proud to achieve the Nurture Award, recognising our strong commitment to supporting the wellbeing and development of every child. Our nurturing ethos underpins all that we do, ensuring that children feel safe, valued and ready to learn. We are dedicated to helping every child reach their full potential—academically, socially and emotionally—through high-quality support, strong relationships and a deep understanding of individual needs.

As a member of the CARE Foundation Trust, we work closely with nine other primary schools in our local area. Pupils benefit from a broad and enriched curriculum, including specialist sports teaching, alongside structured pastoral provision to support emotional wellbeing.

Within our school grounds, we assist our wider community with access to the Ashford Family Hub, the local Kent maintained library and a privately owned nursery.
