Welcome to Smarden Primary

On behalf of all the children, staff and governors I’d like to welcome you to our website. I hope that you will find it informative, interesting and that it gives you a deeper insight into what makes Smarden Primary and Nursery School so special.

Happy, Challenged and Secure.

_

At Smarden we believe that all children thrive in an environment in which they are happy, challenged and secure: secure in the knowledge they are safe and cared for; challenged to achieve their best; and happy in the knowledge they are each appreciated for their individuality and their achievements.

Happy, Challenged and Secure.

Curriculum

We have high expectations of all our children in every aspect of school life.

We want our curriculum to enable all pupils to become resilient, independent, curious and creative learners and leaders who think for themselves.

Curriculum

Case Studies

Supporting our Village community - The Community

Community – a group of people living in the same place considered together with its inhabitants. For example, church is part of that community, police, local charity, specific to that area and unique to that community.

Working within a large Multi-academy trust - Partnership

Partnership - A relationship in which either two or more people, or organisations work together as partners – e.g. Educational Psychology, Barnardo’s (or other national charities) community learning, Health, Social Services, cluster working.

A trauma informed approach - Boxall Profile Online

Several of our children have unfortunately gone through various Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) within their young lifetimes, including, but not only, bereavement based traumas.
