iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Palmarsh Primary School Welcome to our school. Palmarsh Primary is a small school situated in the heart of the Palmarsh community at the western end of Hythe. We believe in supporting and developing each and every child in our care, to help them reach their full potential. At Palmarsh, we are proud of our relationships with our pupils and their families.
Being a small school, we are in an excellent position to know the strengths, weaknesses, concerns and triumphs of our pupils and share in and support them with these. Children at Palmarsh form close links with others in their school community, creating a real family atmosphere within our school.
Staff support this by having a genuine concern for both the children's emotional and academic needs. We share our site with 'Little Cubs Palmarsh & Playgroup' for pre-school children age 2 to 4 years and 'Lullabies' baby unit.
If you are interested in placing your child at our school, and would like to come and visit, then please make an appointment with the school office who will be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you. Jamie Leach Headteacher Welcome to Palmarsh Primary School Welcome to our school.
