About Swingate Primary School
It is with immense pride and excitement that I step into the role of Headteacher at our wonderful school. Every day, I feel incredibly fortunate to lead a community where children are at the heart of everything we do.
Our school offers a balance of academic challenge, personal development, and enrichment opportunities: creating an environment where every child can thrive. We believe in developing the whole child: as an individual, as a learner, and as a valued member of our community.
The quality of teaching and learning here is exceptional, and it is this foundation that enables our children to flourish and become the very best versions of themselves. But school is about so much more than just results. I want our children to be as excited to come to school as I am! Whether it’s being celebrated by a teacher or in assembly, taking on a new responsibility, discovering something incredible in the classroom, or taking part in one of our epic events or clubs; like our vibrant Colour Run, Weaving or Zumba club, a visit to the West End or the legendary Swingate’s Got Talent—there is always something to look forward to.
We are proud to be a Double Winner of the 'Medway Sport Primary School of the Year', a Jigsaw PSHE Beacon School, and a Green Flag Award holder for our commitment to sustainability. These accolades reflect our dedication to academic, physical, and emotional success.
At the heart of our ethos are the values of Bravery, Resilience, Empathy, and Responsibility—qualities we strive to instil in every child, every day.
Our recent Ofsted stated:
Pupils’ experiences at Swingate Primary School are encapsulated by the school’s mission: ‘Academic, Emotional and Physical Success’. Pupils know that expectations are high for every aspect of school life. They also know that staff will support them in reaching these aspirations. They are inspired and motivated by the exciting possibilities for learning and achievement that abound.
Staff are proud to work at the school. They feel included and supported. Everyone is united in a clear drive to secure the very best education for all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or with SEND. As a result, pupils thrive at Swingate Primary School.
Thank you for visiting our website. I warmly invite you to explore more about what makes our school such a special place to learn, grow, and shine.
With best wishes,
Mary Clarke
