About the School

Please read a letter from Jackie, Chair of Governors.

Herne Bay Junior School is a larger than average school serving the coastal town of Herne Bay and the majority of our pupils come from the adjacent infant school.  The school has 16 classes, with two additional classes supporting children who require further support with aspects of their learning.  The school is a four form entry junior school, with approximately 480 pupils and caters for junior age range (7-11 years).  

We pride ourselves on ensuring that pupils have the best possible opportunity to enjoy school and make excellent progress. The school is on an enviable site and has undergone significant modernisation in recent years, providing a generous and well-ordered space that supports an inspiring and enriching curriculum. We offer excellent teaching facilities including 16 well equipped classes, specialist teaching rooms and extensive playing fields. 

We have an ambitious, creative curriculum that provides stimulating opportunities for pupils to extend their learning experiences outside the classroom, including regular participation in local and county sports and in community art and musical events.

The school’s culture of continual improvement and high expectations are underpinned by robust assessment and monitoring procedures. We provide a fulltime Teaching Assistant in every class and PPA is covered by specialist teachers who provide opportunities for sport, MFL and music.

Our enthusiastic, dedicated and high performing staff are always willing to engage with new challenges. We also have an experienced senior and middle leadership team with demonstrated success in supporting the Headteacher and very much look forward to the journey ahead.

Here's what the children think of their school and what they would like to see in their new Headteacher...
