Ulcombe Church of England Primary School is a small Christian school located in the village of Ulcombe in the Weald of Kent.
As part of the ASPIRE Federation, we aim to be an outstanding school at the heart of our culturally diverse communities. We strive for excellence, enabling our children to achieve their highest potential in all areas of the curriculum.
We are passionate about our school and about bringing out the best in the pupils as well as the staff.
We have a dedicated team of teachers and support staff who provide the children with as many opportunities as possible to learn in a fun and exciting way. Our pupils are equipped with the skills they need to make good progress through their primary education so they can confidently make the transition to secondary school.
Throughout the whole school, we are very proud of our uniqueness and the support we are able to offer the Gypsy Roma Traveller community.
If you would like to visit our school please get in touch with Mrs Rumsey in the school office.
“Ulcombe is a very small school with a very big heart. Senior leaders are passionate about ensuring that
pupils, families and staff at Ulcombe flourish. Nurturing support for the whole school community is
exceptional.”
