From the Tiger Primary School
Encourage engagement and faith in our neighbourhood communities. We exclusively work with exceptional individuals that have a strong desire to succeed in order to realise our goal. Our devoted team works together to achieve the best outcomes while providing outstanding pastoral care. They are committed to our ethos. The Future Schools Trust has gotten steadily stronger since its founding in 2007. We opened Tiger Primary School in 2012, the first elementary school in Kent to open as part of the Government's Free School policy, after combining three long-standing high schools in Maidstone. The primary school was Maidstone's first new construction in 25 years. In order to continue meeting the expanding educational needs of neighbourhood families, we reviewed our fundamental beliefs, curriculum, and branding in 2017; this included rebranding the trust's nursery Tiger Cubs Day Nursery. We pride ourselves on delivering rich and engaging curriculums that are enhanced by our modern buildings and spaces, which were designed to inspire the young people in our care to become independent, dynamic lifelong learners, as well as our staff. Professional performing arts studios, a functioning farm, industry-approved sporting facilities, an early years garden with a wooded trail, and many other amenities are among our first-rate amenities. We offer education that motivates kids and teenagers to continue learning outside of the classroom. The Future Schools Trust is a location that encourages everyone's love of learning.
