Executive Headteacher’s Welcome

At Chatham Nursery School, we offer more than education – we offer belonging.

This is a place where community truly matters. As you walk through our building, you’ll notice two words appear time and again: family and sanctuary. These aren’t just words to us – they reflect what Chatham means to us.

We are proud to be  recognised as a Centre of Excellence through the Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM). This honour reflects our deep commitment to creating an inclusive, nurturing environment where every child is valued, supported, and celebrated.

We are also part of a wider federation family alongside St Hugh’s Catholic Primary School and Picton Children’s Centre. This close collaboration brings our team a strong sense of unity and provides our families with seamless support and opportunities.

Here, learning goes beyond the classroom. Children take part in regular enrichment activities – from Forest School and Time to Sign,  learning to play musical instruments, Family Book Club, PE sessions, cultural celebration days, reading buddy programme and visits to a local Retirement Home, we are always thinking of new ways to make learning as exciting and ambitious as possible.

This is Chatham. A sanctuary. A family. A place of possibility.

And we can’t wait to welcome you in.
