St. Helen’s Church of England Primary School is a single form entry, voluntary controlled school situated in the village of Cliffe on the Hoo Peninsula with a warm family feel and supportive team. We enjoy a peaceful, village location in a one storey building with extensive grounds, including two playgrounds, a large field and forest glade, located just minutes from the M2.

At St Helen’s we want all children to be curious, passionate and love learning which creates a spark and a desire for lifelong learning. Our vision statement is “Love to learn, learning to love, all different, all equal”, reflecting our underlying Christian values which prevail throughout the school.

Our broad and balanced curriculum engages all children so that they develop interpersonal skills, build resilience, become creative and independent thinkers and gain the confidence they need to be successful in the next stage of their lives. There is a sense of family within our community, together with staff, parents and children who enjoy working and learning together. We aim to provide our children with a rich and varied experience, leading to increasing independence and self-esteem. We seize upon cross curricular opportunities and make the most of our school grounds and village setting for supporting cross curricular learning to ensure that learning is memorable and fun.

Ofsted state: “Pupils love school and are passionate ambassadors…Staff are unanimously proud to work at the school…Pupils are a credit to the school through their learning, conduct and behaviour.”
