Welcome to Seabrook Church of England Primary School. A warm welcome to Seabrook Church of England Primary School's website! Nestled between Folkestone and Hythe, Seabrook is situated beside Hythe Canal and mere metres from the English Channel. With approximately 107 pupils on roll, organised into four classes, we are one big family under the roof of our small school.
"Everybody Matters" is our school's way of life, embodies everything we do and is underpinned by our six Christian values: Hope, Peace, Respect, Love, Perseverance and Forgiveness.
Every member of our school community – from children to parents/carers, to staff and everyone in between – is recognised and celebrated for their contribution to making Seabrook School the success that it is. Our purpose is to inspire each and every child to develop a strong love of learning, and that all children are given a wide range of opportunities to experience.
At Seabrook School we seek to support children to achieve their very best, reach their full potential and be well prepared for the future.
