The Whitstable School

Learn Locally, Think Globally

Welcome to the Whitstable School, a high performing school within the local district. The Whitstable School is a passionate, purposeful and progressive place to study: our pupils foster a deep love for learning and continually strive to reach their full potential. As part of the highly successful Swale Academies Trust, we offer an excellent education for our pupils, promoting enjoyment of academic enquiry and debate which develops critical thinking and broadens a global perspective. We recognise that curiosity, creativity and hard work form the building blocks for pupil progress.

We uphold that:

The arts are at the heart of the school’s success.
Creativity is as tangible and vital in the science lab as it is in the dance studio.
Enjoyment and enquiry at Key Stage 3 is vital for success at GCSE.
High ambition and challenge leads to excelling in personal and academic success.

Mutual respect permeates the school and relationships between staff and pupils are strong, encouraging and supportive.

“My child couldn’t be happier at the school and is thriving both emotionally and academically” (A parent writing on the Parent View Ofsted website)

We have developed a rich and exciting curriculum that provides students with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills that enable them to think critically, engage in meaningful discussions and develop a deeper understanding of the world.

There has never been a better time for your son or daughter to join The Whitstable School as we continue our journey to excellence. The best way to discover what life is like at our school is to visit and speak with both staff and pupils.

I look forward to welcoming you here soon.
