Sussex Road Primary School is a large, two-form entry school in South Tonbridge. We strive to ensure all children excel in our highly inclusive environment. The community is extremely important to us; parents play a crucial role in supporting learning, we have strong links with local schools and community groups and use our local landmarks to enhance our enquiry led curriculum.
Built on the important foundations of strong English and Mathematics outcomes, our wider curriculum continually evolves, giving our children excellent opportunities. High quality, subject specific facilities, such an Art and Design Studio, Food Technology Room and Forest School, allow children to develop a wide range of skills.
With a strong focus on wellbeing, children thrive, academically, socially and emotionally. We place great value on learning outdoors, whatever the weather, knowing this is powerful in building resilience and promoting good mental health in everyone.
