From the East Wickham Primary Academy
I'd like to welcome you to East Wickham Primary Academy and wish you and your kid the best of luck throughout their time here. This is on behalf of the faculty and school governors.
East Wickham Primary Academy is a sizable, prosperous school with a welcoming, caring environment.
We have access to a sizable field that is shared by both buildings and are situated on a lovely green site.
Our environment is extremely semi-rural because we look out over East Wickham open space from the back of the school.
The classrooms are roomy and light-filled.
They have appealing, vibrant displays of children's work and are set up effectively for learning.
We appreciate the significance of learning and development through play, thus each reception and year one classroom has a welcoming role play area.
The children eat their lunch and participate in assemblies, as well as PE and games courses, in the hall.
We offer a wide choice of enrichment activities and span the entire Primary and Foundation Stage Curriculum.
At the conclusion of Year 2, students transfer from the KS1 building to the KS2 building.
We offer a thorough transition programme that enables the kids to become familiar with the KS2 building and teachers.
To give the kids a voice in how the school is operated for their benefit, we have a School Council.
We hope you enjoy your time at East Wickham Primary Academy and can guarantee you that your kid will receive the best education possible while under our care.
