Situated in the beautiful countryside village of Sissinghurst and the nearby market town of Cranbrook, Sissinghurst Primary School is a thriving community hub of learning and creativity. The school itself dates back to 1840, but moved to a new purpose-built school site in 2011. 

We are truly proud of our enriching learning environment, high-quality teaching and broad curriculum which, together with support and engagement from parents, is providing our children with an excellent start to their education. We were most recently rated as “Good” (with outstanding features) by Ofsted and “Outstanding” at our most recent SIAMS inspection. 

Our school is blessed with a very modern, eco-friendly building and extensive grounds, contemporary facilities and excellent opportunities for outdoor learning, along with a close-knit team of experienced and competent teachers, and a supportive community of parents. We also enjoy a large hall; science/food technology room; two innovative ‘library spaces’; a large kitchen so food can be cooked on site; a huge field with an all-weather running track, outdoor exercise equipment and surface games area; as well as a dedicated wildlife area for Forest Schools. We teach mixed year-group classes in KS2, and provide the very best support we can for children with additional needs. The school has an independent Nursery, The Learning Tree, on site, and is greatly enhanced by the work of our active Parents Association (“Friends of Sissinghurst School”).

Sissinghurst Primary works collaboratively with a number of other local schools in the Weald, including primary and secondary schools, for staff training and events.
