About The School

Please read a welcome letter from the Chair of our Governing Body here.

You can view our Ofsted report here (December 2017) Our school has recently been inspected by Ofsted and we will update the link to the report as soon as it is released into the public domain.

Our school is situated on the edge of the village of Sutton Valence, overlooking the Weald of Kent. It serves the three Suttons - the villages of Sutton Valence, Chart Sutton and East Sutton, along with the nearby villages of Hawkenbury and Langley.

The school has good facilities including: a large playing field, environmental areas, computer suite, teaching kitchen. The school has around 200 pupils and is a single form entry school. Children start school here in as rising fives and continue to year 6 from where they mostly progress to schools in Maidstone.

There is a good choice of after school clubs including: Football, Musical Theatre, Chess & crochet. The school also offers a wrap around care programme encompassing breakfast club and an afternoon club to 6:00 pm 

Important developments

In 2016 we installed a school Forest area. We started small with a shed to keep our tools in. This has grown into a larger area that includes our chickens, covered area for studying, and a fire pit.  In 2021 we expanded our Forest area further with the introduction of a purpose built cabin near our allotment. This has enabled the pupils to have access to an indoor space that is set up specifically for activities related to Forest and the teaching of certain skills. As well as this, we developed a multi-purpose technology room within the school.  

Our Sensory room will be used by pupils across all year groups and includes:

• A bubble wall with interactive soft dice that controls colour. 
• An infinity panel with built-in colour-changing buttons.
• A sensory mood light table and accessories.
• A large sensory jellyfish tank.
• A UV waterfall divider.
• A wide range of handheld sensory resources and equipment .
