The staff, governors, pupils and parents at Garlinge Primary School and Nursery are very proud of our successful school. We have served our local community since the 1930's and are now one of the largest primary schools in East Kent. We have recently undergone a significant expansion which has provided us with many new classrooms, a new sports hall and an IT learning space.
At Garlinge we celebrate diversity and respect all children, regardless of ability, gender, ethnicity or religion. As we have grown, so have the opportunities that we offer our pupils. We currently offer FREE forest school education at the Quex Park site for all our Year 1 and Year R pupils, free school day trips and visits for all pupils from Year R-6 and high quality sports and PE teaching to pupils across the school.
