Information about the school

Cranbrook School is a mixed state grammar school academy with 756 pupils aged 13-18 years, including 261 boarders. For its first 400 years the school was known as Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School with strong roots in the small town of Cranbrook. Day pupils come from within 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) of the school, following a test to judge their suitability for an academic education. Boy and girl boarders are admitted from a wide area, having sat the same test. Although it is a selective school, Cranbrook admits a wider ability range than many other grammar schools. It provides a challenging curriculum for the academic high flyers whilst at the same time catering to the requirements of those of more relatively modest abilities. The value added scores that are achieved each year bear testimony to the success of the provision.

Pupils join at the age of thirteen and take ten or eleven subjects for GCSE. Most students then qualify for the Sixth Form, this being supplemented by a healthy intake into Year 12 from other schools. All Year 12 students follow a course of AS Levels, leading to A2 levels in Year 13. Last year the GCSE pass rate was 98%, with the A/A pass rate at 60%. At A Level the pass rate was 99%, with 48% A/A grades.

For a state school the facilities are very impressive. Within the seventy acres of school grounds are found the six boarding houses, the Queen’s Hall Theatre (used for assemblies, school productions, visiting theatre companies and concerts), a magnificent library, Lecture Theatre, Sports Hall, recently-extended Dance Studio, Gymnasium, heated outdoor swimming pool, squash courts and extensive playing fields and facilities for the boys’ and girls’ games – hockey, rugby, cricket, lacrosse, netball, tennis and athletics – with an astro-turf pitch. The school also possesses purpose-built Performing Arts Centre and Sixth Form Centre. The school boasts an Observatory and Science Centre, named after Dr Piers Sellers OBE, a former student and NASA astronaut.

As a school, Cranbrook is very keen to educate the whole person and to this end it runs a wide programme of extra-curricular activities, including community service and the voluntary CCF (combined cadet force), as well as a broad range of sports, music and drama, both during the week and at the weekend. We have a long tradition of overseas trips and in recent years groups have travelled to Poland, Morocco, Italy, Crete, Honduras, Tanzania, The Battlefields of Flanders, Southern India, Grenada (West Indies) and the USA. These have been for sports tours, choir tours, cultural exchanges, adventurous activities, scientific research and to work on projects. Cranbrook is an active school which will appeal to those prepared to give generously of their time and to take academic work very seriously. The school seeks to appoint staff who will involve themselves fully in the life of the school and applicants are invited to indicate areas where they would be able to make a contribution.

Some of our staff arrive with us through the GTP programme or after a PGCE here. Most of the links are through Canterbury Christ Church University although not exclusively so. The presence of so many trainees has done much to enhance the pedagogy of all staff and an increasing number of them are becoming accredited mentors to allow them to provide better guidance. For our training work we act alongside another five schools within the West Kent Learning Federation (WKLF). This is a loose federation of eighteen secondary and two special schools as well as two FE colleges.

An interesting blend of the maintained and independent traditions, Cranbrook is a place with deep roots in the past but with its eyes clearly focused on the future. Each year our Academy Improvement Plan focuses on ways to improve staff and student performance and the specific focus for the current year is addressing some underachievement in the Sixth Form. A series of groups, led by different members of staff, investigate and report back on specific areas of interest, such as how to move lessons from good to outstanding. Our most recent Ofsted inspection (July 2011), rated us as ‘Outstanding’ and set the ambitious target for us to raise the percentage of lessons judged as outstanding to 70%.

Much of Cranbrook’s success results from the involvement of its committed Governing Body. The Governors take a genuine interest in the School, attend many of its functions, are involved in the regular reviews of departments and houses and work closely with the core Leadership Group on new initiatives. Boarding is central to the experience of life at Cranbrook and a programme of activities is provided for the boarders remaining on site at weekends. Each of the six houses has its own ethos and identity and a marked sense of house pride. The Heads of Boarding meet every week under the chairmanship of the Director of Boarding to discuss both day to day administration, as well as longer term issues. The group reviews the national boarding standards on a regular basis to ensure that we are meeting them all. As a School we are members of the SBSA and the BSA. The facilities and general comfort of the houses are excellent and the School’s own catering service provides high quality food. We have a long tradition of providing enjoyable outings on Sundays for which a number of staff give up their time. The boarding life of the School enriches everyone’s experience and makes this a most interesting and congenial place to work. The town lies in the Weald of Kent, about fifteen miles from Maidstone, Ashford, Hastings and Tunbridge Wells, and London is just an hour away by train from nearby Staplehurst. General information about the school can also be found on its website.

Information about the school

Folkestone Primary Academy is part of Folkestone All-Age Academy. We are a two form entry school but have chosen to organise children into smaller classes of 20, recognising the many benefits for both children and members of staff. Each year group of three teachers work closely as a team: we ensure that less experienced members of staff work alongside more experienced so that they are well-supported. Children and teachers form relationships quickly in smaller classes. More time can be spent supporting small groups and individuals which has a positive effect on pupils’ progress and achievement. Planning and resourcing for the year group is shared between three teachers, allowing teachers more time for giving pupils quality feedback and professional development opportunities.

We are a forward-thinking school, committed to enabling children to acquire fundamental literacy and maths skills, while developing individual strengths and talents. We are determined that every child in our school is happy and successful, through providing high standards of academic learning opportunities and pastoral care. Learning is underpinned by three key aspects of practice: Building Learning Power (children understanding themselves as learners); Assessment for Learning; and Talk for Writing. Children come to our school to be happy and successful. They will leave us as confident, self-assured, positive young people who love to learn, to contribute and to achieve

We offer pupils a dedicated staff who are committed to developing the knowledge, skills, attitudes and understanding which will enable children to enjoy learning, achieve success and to feel contented and fulfilled. We ensure that our children learn about, and have confidence in, themselves as learners.

As an inclusive, caring school where every child matters, we recognise that all children have talents and abilities to enjoy, and a part of our role is to help them discover and develop these. We encourage a strong community spirit, where we show consideration for each other, understand differences, and uphold kind, well-mannered behaviour.

In being the Primary School in an All Age Academy we will retain the overview of a child’s learning journey from pre-school to post sixth form, building the All Age cohesion which will bring about the best educational and personal development opportunities for all of our children and the community in which they live, and fulfilling our high expectations. At the end of Year 6 our children have the right to transfer into the Senior School if this is the parental preference, although, of course, other options will remain available.

The learning community of Folkestone Primary Academy has a shared vision that every child deserves to be successful. We challenge and develop our children to become curious, autonomous learners who are inspired and stimulated through a rich and varied curriculum, appropriate to individual needs. Through Building Learning Power to develop children’s learning skills and setting high expectations and exacting standards, we prepare our children to flourish and gain confidence and self belief, to develop as life long learners.

Folkestone Primary Academy is inclusive and is fully committed to meeting the needs of all children and enabling learners to achieve their full potential.

About the Habitat brand

Since 1964, Habitat has been challenging the way people style and shop for their homes. We’re an iconic homeware and furniture retailer that’s going through exciting times: alongside our three long-standing London flagship stores and extensive website, the brand is thinking big by going small – the number of Mini Habitat stores grew massively in 2015 and further growth is planned for 2016.

Keep the store looking sharp and stylish by employing high visual merchandising standards

Information about the school

The Canterbury Inclusion Service (Grosvenor House) works with Key Stage 3 students who are at risk of exclusion due to social, emotional and mental health needs. It is a service used by the secondary schools in the Canterbury District and is able to provide advice, support and expertise.

Following a recent review of the service, we now offer assessment and intervention, through a broad and balanced curriculum and a range of therapeutic inputs, with the aim of reintegrating pupils back into the mainstream setting. For some students, our assessments lead to the identification of special educational needs.

Canterbury Inclusion Service works with a maximum of 16 students at any one time, with students attending the provision on a revolving door basis. Staff are therefore required to work within the provision and also accompany students back into school to support their reintegration.

The provision itself offers a small, nurturing environment with a high ratio of adults to students. The Key Stage 3 National Curriculum is taught but is delivered in a creative and varied way to ensure engagement levels remain high. Students have access to a range of professionals through the service including counselling, educational psychologists and speech and language therapists.

Folkestone Primary Academy is part of Folkestone All-Age Academy. We are a two form entry school but have chosen to organise children into smaller classes of 20, recognising the many benefits for both children and members of staff. Each year group of three teachers work closely as a team: we ensure that less experienced members of staff work alongside more experienced so that they are well-supported. Children and teachers form relationships quickly in smaller classes. More time can be spent supporting small groups and individuals which has a positive effect on pupils’ progress and achievement. Planning and resourcing for the year group is shared between three teachers, allowing teachers more time for giving pupils quality feedback and professional development opportunities.

We are a forward-thinking school, committed to enabling children to acquire fundamental literacy and maths skills, while developing individual strengths and talents. We are determined that every child in our school is happy and successful, through providing high standards of academic learning opportunities and pastoral care. Learning is underpinned by three key aspects of practice: Building Learning Power (children understanding themselves as learners); Assessment for Learning; and Talk for Writing. Children come to our school to be happy and successful. They will leave us as confident, self-assured, positive young people who love to learn, to contribute and to achieve

We offer pupils a dedicated staff who are committed to developing the knowledge, skills, attitudes and understanding which will enable children to enjoy learning, achieve success and to feel contented and fulfilled. We ensure that our children learn about, and have confidence in, themselves as learners.

As an inclusive, caring school where every child matters, we recognise that all children have talents and abilities to enjoy, and a part of our role is to help them discover and develop these. We encourage a strong community spirit, where we show consideration for each other, understand differences, and uphold kind, well-mannered behaviour.

In being the Primary School in an All Age Academy we will retain the overview of a child’s learning journey from pre-school to post sixth form, building the All Age cohesion which will bring about the best educational and personal development opportunities for all of our children and the community in which they live, and fulfilling our high expectations. At the end of Year 6 our children have the right to transfer into the Senior School if this is the parental preference, although, of course, other options will remain available.

The learning community of Folkestone Primary Academy has a shared vision that every child deserves to be successful. We challenge and develop our children to become curious, autonomous learners who are inspired and stimulated through a rich and varied curriculum, appropriate to individual needs.
