About

The Royal Kent School, Oakshade Road, Oxshott, Surrey KT22 0LE It is a privilege to introduce myself as the new Headteacher of The Royal Kent Church of England Primary School.

Nestled in the heart of Oxshott, our one-form entry primary school has been at the centre of the village community for over two centuries, and I am both proud and excited to lead this next chapter in its rich history. At The Royal Kent School, we are united by a shared commitment to nurturing every child's academic, personal, and spiritual development.

Our five core values; Cognisance, Commitment, Compassion, Courage and Creativity, are at the heart of school life and underpin everything we do. These values not only shape our curriculum and wider provision but also guide our children in becoming thoughtful, resilient and compassionate individuals. As a small school, we are incredibly fortunate to know every child well.

This sense of closeness allows us to offer a caring, supportive environment where children feel valued and secure. Our dedicated staff team work tirelessly to ensure that every child is both challenged and supported to reach their full potential and we are equally supported by our engaged and enthusiastic parent community.

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