Thanet Primary School is a family of children, parents, staff and governors. Together we provide a welcoming, inspiring and safe environment in which everyone is encouraged to be their best.

Through high expectations, challenge and support we develop positive attitudes, celebrate success and support everyone to aim high. 

An imaginative curriculum develops aspiration, builds futures and lets imaginations fly as we aim high. 

We are very proud of our school and of our children.
