About

Greatstone School has a warm and friendly 'family feeling' where everyone is welcome. We understand that every child is an individual and is valued and treated as such, with a balance that ensures a nurturing approach is fostered by all, coupled with the confidence to have high expectations of themselves and others.

We have a team of passionate staff who really care about the children and their families and strive to provide the best education possible for the children in their care. Often described as a Tardis, Greatstone School is tucked away on the South East Coast.

The children and staff are very fortunate to learn in this vast and unique area with an amazing school outside area that provides plenty of space to explore. The beach at the end of the road also provides a host of learning opportunities, particularly in the summer months.

Greatstone School is a 1 form entry Primary school with a Nursery that welcomes children from the age of 2, sharing an Early Years Learning Zone with the Reception children, creating the perfect transition from Nursery to School when the time comes.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
