Welcome to Sedley's Church of England Primary School and St. Nicholas Church, Southfleet, Kent

Sedley’s School was founded over 370 years ago by Sir John Sedley, a local landowner keen to provide quality education to the children of Southfleet village. His Coat of Arms forms the basis of the School's badge.  Today the school is still based in the same building he established all those years ago.

Our methods of teaching have moved on immeasurably but the same commitment to learning, community and, most importantly, fulfilling the potential of every child, has remained throughout our school’s long history.

Today, our pupils learn using a variety of methods and styles, each of which aims to encourage the children to enjoy the experience of learning. Both literacy and numeracy are given high priority in our school day; however, we also stress the importance of sports and physical activities, as well as allowing our pupils to display their creativity. Sedley’s aims to ensure every child leaves us as a well-rounded person.

As a small school we can ensure each child has a strong personal relationship, not only with their teachers, but with every other child in the school. We also like to maintain a close relationship with parents, allowing them to be as involved with their children’s education as they wish to be.

Sedley’s is an unashamedly Christian school, working with the Church of England.  All our teaching, particularly of social responsibility, moral awareness and community cohesion is taught from a Christian perspective, which includes respect and tolerance of the beliefs of others.  For this reason a child does not have to be from a Christian background to benefit from being at Sedley’s.

We encourage our pupils to think of others in the community and to take part in charitable activity, such as the donations of food to disadvantaged families during the harvest festival and carol singing at a local care home, which we do every Christmas.

We are proud of our school’s heritage, high standards and achievements. With every passing year and every child we teach Sedley’s School improves the way local children learn and play, whilst maintaining the values established by Sir John Sedley over 3 centuries ago.

We hope we will soon be welcoming you and your child at Sedley’s School.

Mrs Coppitters,
Headteacher
