Our school is in Selling, a small village situated between the historic market town of Faversham and Sheldwich in Kent. We are lucky to be surrounded by orchards and beautiful views of The Downs and we are very proud of our school.

Our staff and pupils share a strong belief in the values and ethos of the school and we are all proud to be part of it. Selling CE Primary School is part of Our Community Multi Academy Trust which means we are able to share expertise with our other schools in the Academy including best practice and resources, allowing us to raise achievement and standards throughout the school.

The Selling Way of Life:

Our small school seeks to welcome all. We work together as a family to ensure everyone knows they belong within our inclusive and nurturing environment. Children flourish in our school because of the enriching curriculum opportunities, high expectations and celebration of the outdoors, arts and sport. We value learning and curiosity, celebrating individuality so that all are enabled to identify and follow their passion. Guided by biblical teaching, we serve our community and strive to live in harmony by showing love and compassion to one another and our neighbours. 

 The aims of our school:

• For children to enjoy school and learning;
• For children to develop a moral sense of responsibility and self-discipline;
• To work closely with children and parents in the pursuit of the  highest standards;
• To develop children’s own strategies for learning and improving;
• To deliver a broad and balanced curriculum that reflects the needs of our children;
• To encourage all members of our school to develop their personal understanding of Christianity and Christian Values by daily collective worship, example and teaching
• To further develop our close links with our local church and community.

Our Christian Values:

We aim to teach our values throughout the curriculum and as part of our everyday school lives.

Perseverance, Compassion, Forgiveness, Umunthu 

Umunthu – concept taught in Malawi from toddler age 

• I belong, therefore I am 

• You are human, just like I am 

• It speaks directly to the subject of cultural diversity and hospitality 

Selling CE Primary is a friendly and happy place where all children enjoy learning and can achieve great things.
