Welcome from the Headteacher

Welcome to Graveney Primary School

A very warm welcome to Graveney Primary School.

Set amongst the beautiful countryside between Faversham and Whitstable, Graveney Primary is a small school with a big heart. Here, every child is known, every voice is heard and every achievement is celebrated. With just over 100 pupils taught across four mixed-age classes, our children benefit from a truly personalised education where they are supported to grow academically, socially and emotionally.

Being a small school is our greatest strength. It allows us to build meaningful relationships with every child and family, creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued and confident to be themselves. Walk through our doors and you will find children learning together, laughing together and supporting one another. Our older pupils proudly care for and encourage our youngest learners, creating the warm family atmosphere that makes Graveney such a special place to belong.

At Graveney, we believe childhood should be filled with curiosity, wonder and opportunity. Our unique country setting provides the perfect backdrop for learning beyond the classroom, where children explore, discover and make meaningful connections with the world around them. Through our rich 'This is Us' curriculum, we encourage children to ask questions, think deeply, solve problems creatively and develop the confidence to embrace new challenges.

We are ambitious for every child. We believe that all children deserve an education that inspires them to dream big, work hard and discover their own talents. Whether they are performing on stage, competing on the sports field, exploring nature, solving mathematical problems or losing themselves in a great book, we want every child to experience success and leave us believing in themselves.

Our values underpin everything we do. We aim to develop children who leave Graveney ready not only for secondary school, but for life.

Our children leave Graveney with:

  • High expectations of themselves and others.

  • Kindness, compassion and respect for everyone in our community and the wider world.

  • Confidence to work independently, collaborate with others and embrace new opportunities.

  • Curiosity, resilience and a lifelong love of learning.

  • The knowledge, skills and character to make positive choices and contribute to society.

  • Happy memories, lasting friendships and immense pride in all they have achieved.

We know that choosing the right primary school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child. Our website offers just a glimpse into life at Graveney, but nothing compares to seeing our school in action.

We would be delighted to welcome you for a visit. Come and meet our wonderful children, dedicated staff and experience the caring, ambitious and inclusive community that makes Graveney Primary School such a special place to learn, grow and thrive.

Please contact our school office to arrange a visit or if you have any questions, we would love to hear from you.
