Testimonials
"Elham is a school I never thought I would find for our daughter. It is caring, student-focused, and genuinely has the best interests of the whole student in mind, not just the academic. We recently moved to the area and had a chance to view different schools, and even though we do not live in Elham, I can honestly say that the drive is worth every minute for the education she is receiving. Staff at the school have high expectations of all students, including those with SEND, which, coupled with the small class sizes, means the education students receive is second to none. I’ve never seen a school where so many students are excited to go to school in the mornings and carry that enthusiasm with them as they leave in the evenings. As a family, we would highly recommend Elham Primary School."

“We love that Elham Primary School is only a 17-minute scenic drive from our home in East Folkestone. The peaceful, stunning countryside setting of the school and welcoming head teacher and staff put our minds at ease that our three children would thrive here.”
Mrs Parrett - 2 children at the school
“When choosing schools for September 2019, a friend of ours had several sons already attending Elham Primary School and recommended it enthusiastically to us as a friendly school with core Christian values and a particular emphasis on family. We were also very keen on the forest school idea as we are quite ‘outdoorsy.’ After visiting the school and meeting the teaching team, we knew it was the right place for us. The smaller classes were also a pull for us as our eldest son is quite shy, so it was the perfect setting for him to learn. As the years have passed, our children continue flourishing at Elham and have made great friendships. We as parents also get involved with events and activities when we can share to make the most of our time here.”
Mrs Robbins- 4 children at the school.
"We have three children; two still attend Elham school, and one recently left for secondary school. Elham school has been incredibly nurturing and supportive as well as providing a fantastic education.
All three children have been under Senco, and they have gone above and beyond with our children’s needs.
Our oldest son wouldn’t be doing as well as he is at secondary school without all the work the senco did with him.
The school is a wonderful community with all the parents and staff.
My husband, me, and the staff have always had a very supportive relationship; they’ve always listened to and worked with us.
I would highly recommend that any prospective parent visit Elham School to see just what a wonderful, warm, and nurturing school it is."
