Whitstable is a highly desirable seaside town which is popular with tourists in the summer and commuters from London all year round. Our children tend to walk to school and enjoy the beautiful views of the local coastline from many classrooms. There is a thriving community in Whitstable and the town is well known for its commitment to the arts, hosting a writing festival each year as well as the annual ‘Oyster Festival’ visited by thousands. Live music can be heard all year round and the school works with local groups to host events and workshops.

Our motto is ‘Learn Locally, Think Globally’ and we are an International Baccalaureate school. Students in our successful sixth form choose from a range of A Levels, vocational and IB courses. In recent years, pupils have visited a range of exciting international destinations.

We have created a ‘knowledge curriculum with an Oracy focus’ and take every opportunity to encourage pupils to communicate and share ideas. Our exhibition programme is entirely pupil led - local people visit to hear students debate, perform and discuss the issues of the day. Our school has wonderful, purpose built facilities. Our permanent Exhibition Hall showcases pupils’ work from all subject areas.

At The Whitstable School, we know all of our pupils and take the time to support and guide them towards targets and goals that are realistic and personalised. Whilst grades are important, school is about so much more than academic achievement. We seek to celebrate our pupils’ talents and skills at every opportunity and are proud of what we achieve together as a school community.
