From the Warden House Primary School
In 2013, Warden House Primary School converted to a Primary Academy and was deemed an exceptional school by OFSTED.
The primary school has a long history of providing children in Deal with the best education possible.
The curriculum at Warden House, a Primary Academy, emphasises success across the board rather than simply in English and math.
Our mission is to make learning attractive; we want every child to acquire a hunger for knowledge and push themselves to be their best selves.
The foundation of school life is our set of ideals.
Children are taught how to learn positively, how important it is to get along with others, how to learn independently, and how to be persistent in always doing their best.
In order for kids to succeed academically, they are first taught to be responsible members of the school community and later of society.
Please get in touch with the school office if you want more information or to schedule a visit.
I am Warden House Primary School's executive headteacher.
I became the executive headteacher of both Warden House and Pilgrim's Way Primary Schools in 2009, having previously served as the headteacher of two elementary schools. I am also the CEO of Veritas Multi Academy Trust (MAT).
My responsibility as executive headteacher is to support Mr. Hackett, who is in charge of overseeing the day-to-day operations of the school.
The fact that Warden House is a National Support School makes me happy as well.
I am incredibly proud that Warden House, its staff, and its students serve as a beacon of hope for our system of schools.
