The Robert Drake Primary School

The school provides education for children from 4 to 11 years of age in the Thundersley area. We aim to create a caring, secure environment where everyone will work happily together. Each child will be encouraged to be hardworking and self-disciplined during their time here. We believe that children should be able to read, write, spell and compute confidently.

Children should be able to use these skills and apply them in all situations. We also believe that children should enjoy the process. We aim at all times to match the learning experience to the needs of individual children in partnership with parents and other members of the community.

Additionally, we promote the physical, creative, social and emotional development of each child in a calm and friendly atmosphere. By working co-operatively with other primary and secondary schools in the local area, we are able to offer a wide range of enriching activities, and expert coaching and tuition in various fields.

Our staff, coupled with supportive parents and governors, contribute greatly to the success of our school. We all work together with a common purpose - to ensure that our children are happy and successful in their primary years.
