About

About Us Pembury School dates back to the mid 1800s (and possibly earlier), and is situated in the village of Pembury, near Royal Tunbridge Wells. Our school comprises a variety of buildings dating from different periods in the history of the school, including Victorian and 21st Century constructions.

We are lucky to enjoy extensive grounds, including playing fields, woodland, Forest School and extensive playing areas. We have two halls for assemblies, physical education, dance and, of course, the serving of lunch and extra-curricular clubs. We have an excellent and up to date library and music room.

In conjunction with pupils and staff, we have developed an innovative and creative knowledge-based curriculum that follows the expectations as set out in the National Curriculum (2014). These can be viewed in more detail in the Year Group sections of the website.

At Pembury School, we are committed to the principle that every child has the right to fulfil their potential in an inclusive environment where all are equally valued. It is important to us that every child feels safe, learns, achieves and enjoys making progress and spending time with their peers.
