Ebbsfleet Green Primary School is based in Ebbsfleet Garden City, Kent. We are a newly formed school and opened in September 2020. We are now in our third year of opening and have two forms of entry for nursery, reception and year 1 and one form of entry for year 2, year 3 and year 4. We will continue to grow year-by-year, eventually to a two-form entry school, as the Ebbsfleet Green community grows around us. This academic year, our Specialist Resource Provision for children with Autism opened and we have children ranging from reception to year 3 accessing this provision.
We take pride in our creative and entrepreneurial curriculum as it not only engages children, but challenges them to develop the skills - as well as the knowledge - befitting of the twenty-first century. At Ebbsfleet Green, we will give all children an exciting, innovative educational excellence to support them to become the best they can be. We know our children will leave our school ready for the next stage of learning.
We love being part of the Ebbsfleet Garden City community and work in active partnership with residents, parents, carers and local businesses. We believe that by listening and being partners with our community, we will deliver an education to our children that will create respectful, compassionate and inquiring life-long learners.
We are proud to be part of the Maritime Academy Trust.
