Kender Primary School

Our school is a fully inclusive community primary school, judged as ‘good’ by Ofsted 2019, with our provision for Early Years, personal development, behaviour and welfare and leadership all judged as ‘outstanding’. Our school caters for pupils between 3-11 years old. Kender is part of the London Borough of Lewisham, and has places for 420 full time pupils and 62 Nursery pupils.

We are proud of our ‘caring ethos that permeates all aspects of school life’ with children that ‘are valued and cherished as individuals’, ensuring ‘the school radiates happiness, and calmness’. The school continues to make improvements and, as noted by Ofsted, ‘does not stand still’; ‘improvements to date are linked to the outstanding leadership of the headteacher and other senior leaders, a clear vision of high expectations, strong teamwork and a passionate community spirit among staff and parents’.

We provide a high quality education for all children, encouraging a trusting, caring partnership between home and school. We strive to achieve high standards in all areas of children’s learning, delivering a ‘dynamic curriculum’ and ensuring each child makes the very best of their time in school.

At Kender Primary School we are giving a great deal of thought to the values that we are trying to promote. Our school ethos is at the heart of everything we do. We regularly consider our core values and how the school sustains an ethos, which supports the children as reflective learners whilst securing teaching and learning of high quality. We are very much aware that society is faced with enormously complicated problems, which can make growing up a difficult process.

Kender is a culturally rich and fully inclusive community school committed to providing high standards of learning for all children in an inspirational, stimulating and supportive environment.

Each child’s self esteem is fostered by positive relationships with peers and staff, allowing children to develop their full potential academically, socially and physically.

We strive to have our parents, teachers and community members actively involved in our children’s learning, developing successful citizens for the future.
