About Us
At Sutton Valence Primary School we ensure our children have a range of experiences to support and encourage their learning.
We are a small community primary school in rural Maidstone. Our school is situated on the edge of the village of Sutton Valence, overlooking the Weald of Kent. It serves the three Suttons - the villages of Sutton Valence, Chart Sutton and East Sutton, along with the nearby villages of Hawkenbury and Langley.
At Sutton Valence Primary School we are child centered and are focused on developing the whole child- not just the academics. This is encompassed by some of the things we offwer at Sutton Valence School such as Earth class, purpose built sensory room, purpose built multi-technonlgy room with teaching kitchen, a range of clubs and our 100 Things to do Before Leaving Primary School insentive. Please see the other areas of the website for more information on these elements.
We have a 'tribal approach' to our classes. Every academic year begins with 'tribal week' where the children come up with thier own team name for the year and class attributes which become part of their team flag. Please see the class pages for this years names and class information.
We have active links with the local community including
- An active and supportive PTA who organise many events for the children
- Use of the Sutton Valence private school swimming pools to enable swimming tuition in the summer term
- Annual farmers market where children grow our own produce and make food items from scratch to sell
- Community days with parents, staff and governors to develop and improve our outside area
- Projects with the local parish council
