Churchfields is a popular two to three form entry school in Beckenham with extensive outside space. It has a strong commitment to inclusion and a two class SEND provision for children with severe and complex needs. It was founded in 1890 and moved to its current site in 1990. In 2017, Churchfields joined a small group of like-minded schools as part of the Quality First Education Trust (Q1E) which allows us to collaborate and support each other to continually improve.

Churchfields Primary School was graded 'Good' following our Ofsted inspection in October 2023, with the report noting that "Churchfields Primary School is a warm and welcoming place. Pupils, staff, parents and carers are all proud to be part of this community." and "The provision for pupils’ personal development is impressive and consistently of high quality. It is underpinned by the school’s core values of aspiration, citizenship and excellence."

We pride ourselves on providing a well-rounded, broad and balanced education for all of the children we serve. We want all children to achieve their full potential across the whole range of subjects that we offer and believe that children should get the best provision possible in all areas of the school and also get the right support when and if they need it.

We have great resources to offer the children (such as an extensive library, art room and playing fields) and we also have specialist teaching in art and design, Spanish, computing, physical education and forest school to enable children to thrive and develop their abilities to the full.

As part of the Q1E Trust, we provide clear structures, excellent resources, and outstanding professional development for teachers. We aspire to be an ‘employer of choice,’ providing all those who join us with excellent working conditions and career prospects. All teaching staff joining the Q1E Trust receive an extensive programme of induction and training, including three weeks of paid induction training for ECTs in July covering how we teach all of our curriculum.
