Thank you for visiting Lindale Church of England Primary School.
Our goal is to deliver the greatest primary education we can in a dynamic and imaginative setting.
We want students to acquire a passion for learning that is fueled by excellent instruction and that builds on each student's unique strengths and abilities.
All of the students in our school are expected to make good progress and do at least as well as is expected for their age.
We have close ties to the village and the local church.
We make every effort to create outdoor learning experiences, including Forest Schools activities, at our facility, which is set in lovely grounds and overlooks the Kent estuary and hills beyond.
Through visits to the school and outings, we attempt to provide our kids with as many engaging and pertinent experiences as we can.
Being a small school with small courses has several benefits, including the ability to respond quickly to new opportunities.
We place a strong focus on sports and physical education as well. All of our students receive 2 hours of devoted PE instruction each week, and we also provide a variety of extracurricular PE activities.
We never stop trying to do better and give our kids the finest chances.
We have been chosen as a computer science lead school.
Our school's strength in science is another.
