Headteacher's Welcome

A warm welcome to Bethersden Primary School. We are a small village primary school situated in the beautiful village of Bethersden, just outside Ashford, Kent.

As a school, we pride ourselves on the strength of our relationships within our community. We work closely with parents and families, our governors and our local community, to ensure that our school is a warm and welcoming place, where children feel valued, respected, and a sense of belonging.

We are very lucky to have a team of dedicated staff, who work tirelessly to ensure that our children receive an excellent education.
