Welcome to the Green Park Community Primary School website If you are a parent, the website has everything you will need to know from dates to uniform rules. If you are a visitor, then please take a look at our class pages and galleries to see the lovely work that goes on in Green Park every day.
If you are an inspector, then you are also welcome (but please remember to look at our data page, because we are very proud of the progress our children make). Green Park is a relatively new school, opening fully in 2008; it was formed from the amalgamation of the Powell and Melbourne Schools.
Recently, Green Park has reached out to begin supporting other schools, both in Dover and across Kent and has also formed a collaboration, known as the Dover Collaboration of Schools, with Charlton CE Primary, St Richard RC Primary and Langdon Primary Schools. From tiny footsteps to giant leaps, laughing and learning all the way. School should be fun.
It should be lively and it should be a place where children and adults grow into amazing people through mutual support and challenge.
