From the Green Park Community Primary School
Welcome to the webpage for the Green Park Community Primary School. The website has all the information that parents need, from dates to standardised standards. Please visit our class sites and galleries if you are a visitor to view the beautiful work that is done in Green Park every day. You are also welcome if you are an inspector (but please remember to look at our data page, because we are very proud of the progress our children make). The Powell and Melbourne Schools were combined to become Green Park, which just officially opened its doors in 2008. In its own right, Green Park is now recognised throughout Kent as a school where students make rapid progress and where both teachers and students may discover and nurture extraordinary abilities. A supportive but demanding board of governors, a team of brilliant, motivating, and committed teachers, and a teaching assistant programme are all gifts to our school. Recently, Green Park has reached out to begin supporting other schools, both in Dover and across Kent and has also formed a collaboration, known as the Dover Collaboration of Schools, with Charlton CE Primary, St Richard RC Primary and Langdon Primary Schools. From small steps to enormous leaps, we laughed and learned along the way. School should be enjoyable. It should be energetic and a place where both kids and adults may develop into extraordinary persons via support and challenge from one another.
