Welcome to Cudham Church of England Primary School

Together, we Aim, Believe and Achieve

We are a small village school founded as a National School in 1851 by a group of local gentlemen including Charles Darwin and the Earl of Stanhope. Our school has a rich and diverse history through which we learn and celebrate.  Our children’s learning journey starts at the age of 2, when children are eligible to join our over-subscribed pre-school.  Our Christian virtues are promoted in all we do to ensure the success of our pupils academically, spiritually and morally.  All children at Cudham Church of England School are equally valued, supported and challenged in line with our school virtues.

“But I came to give life - life in all its fullness.”

John 10 V 10

Our school enjoys a rural spot in the Kent countryside where our amazing surroundings are used to enhance our learning.  We have a large Forest School, an outdoor swimming pool, extensive fields, woodland areas, quiet garden and ponds, which we are able to use to support our awe and wonder based curriculum.

We work closely with our local schools and are proud to be part of the Aquinas Trust, a group of Church and Community schools with hubs in Bromley and Rye.

On behalf of our Advisory Council, staff, pupils and families we welcome you to our unique school.

Who is Aquinas?

• We are a family of schools that deliver Life-Transforming-Learning.
• Big enough to support but small enough to care, plus we have a proven track record of turning sponsored schools around.
• In our schools, every learner flourishes, regardless of their background or starting point.
• We believe every community deserves an effective school, and bring the diligence and security to make that happen.
• Our schools all have their own identity based around the communities they serve, but also benefit from the opportunities we bring as a Trust.
• Many of our schools are Church of England schools, and the Trust is founded on Christian values. To us that means celebrating individuals, embracing differences and welcoming staff and children of all cultures and of all religions (or none).
• We recognise the importance of diversity and talent, where differences are valued and enhanced whilst delivering equity of opportunity as part of our inclusive culture.
• We care about and educate the whole child, combining an excellent education with a firm moral grounding so our learners can give back to their communities.

Our Vision

“Together, we Aim, Believe and Achieve”

At Cudham CE Primary School we want the very best for the children in our care so that they flourish in our Christian community and realise their potential. We strive to provide an enriching environment where each child will be happy, thrive and succeed.
