We are very proud of the academic achievements of our pupils and their success in passing the Kent Test. It is, however, the culture of family, support, pastoral care, opportunity and growth mindset that sets us apart, and creates an environment where children enjoy learning and succeed.

From the youngest children in our busy nursery, to our confident, pro-active Year 6 leavers, and at every point in between, they are challenged by outstanding staff and exciting opportunities, and motivated in a supportive and friendly environment.

Beyond the classroom a whole range of imaginative and stimulating after-school clubs and activities introduces our boys and girls to new ideas, skills and possibilities, nurturing interests and passions that will stay with them.

Our children leave us prepared for the future with an appetite to learn, an enthusiasm for future challenges and the confidence to take the lead.

Our ethos and aims

Our over-arching aim is to enable every child to feel success.

Personal growth and achievement across the curriculum are reliant on children being happy, valued and inspired by an increasingly broad, inclusive, collaborative and individualised school experience which, in turn, fosters self-confidence, curiosity, ambition and independence of mind.

We therefore champion three core school aims:

1. To grow an increasingly compassionate and collaborative community.

2. To deliver an inspirational education which fosters curiosity and ambition.

3. To develop every child’s independence and wellbeing.

To translate our school aims into child-friendly, everyday language, we promote our ‘Mindset of a Meadite’ which champions three key attributes and also our School Rule, a one sentence guide for life.

Our Mindset of a Meadite

Compassion

Treat others as you would wish to be treated: with kindness, respect and honesty.

Ambition

Challenge yourself and take responsibility. Be the best possible version of yourself.

Curiosity

Give everything a go, find your passion, discover the truth and explore the world.
