<p>Information about the school </p>
<p>Hildenborough Church of England Primary School is a welcoming,
inclusive school in the heart of Hildenborough village. We are committed to
enabling all our children to flourish and consider wellbeing to be central to
positive learning outcomes and a healthy and happy school experience.
</p>
<p>We are a slightly smaller than average, one form entry school that
was founded in 1847. In 2004 a large extension was added to the original school
building creating 6 large bright classrooms (all opening onto the playground),
an ICT suite and a dedicated early years area and outdoor space. </p>
<p>We enjoy a strong relationship with our church: St. John’s Church,
Hildenborough. The Christian values of love, honesty, courage, compassion, hope
and endurance underpin all that we do. </p>
<p>Our dedicated teachers, leaders and support staff work as a
friendly and supportive team to secure the best outcomes for children and
mutual support for colleagues. Our pupils are happy, engaged and enthusiastic
learners who enjoy coming to school and who have a voice in the direction of
the school via the school council. The children’s learning is enhanced by a range
of extracurricular activities including girls and boys football, craft club,
choir, Minecraft club and netball. We have supportive parents and an active PTA
who run events to provide funding for specific projects outside of the normal
school budget and who offer social activities throughout the year for both
children and parents. </p>
<p>We are fortunate to have excellent facilities. There is a
dedicated library, a spacious school hall with a stage used for school
productions and performances, an ICT suite, community room fully equipped with
cooking facilities and the ‘Green Room’ which is where our SEN team are based.
It's here that they welcome and support our children and families. The children
see the Green room as a safe and nurturing space where they can go at lunch and
break times if they need a quiet, calm space. </p>
<p>The grounds surrounding the school offer the pupils plenty of
outdoor space to play and learn. In addition to the playground areas there is
an outdoor gazebo, wildlife pond and a forest school area. Throughout the year
there are opportunities for children in all year groups to experience forest
school sessions which not only develops their understanding of the world but
also supports the development of their sense of wellbeing and engagement in
their learning. </p>
<p>The school backs onto the to the parish recreational ground which
we use for athletics and team sports. We are proud of our Sporting
opportunities and achievements. We work closely with The Tonbridge and West
Kent School Sports Partnership taking part in a wide variety of inter-school
competitions. We have been awarded the platinum school games mark for the last
2 years. We are the only school in the local area to be awarded this mark and
shows our commitment to providing competitive sporting opportunities for all
our pupils. </p>
<p>Our School and all its personnel are committed to safeguarding and
promoting the welfare of the children. This post is subject to an Enhanced
Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service. </p>
