We currently have spaces for new starters for September 2023.
If you know anybody that would like a small, nurturing school, set in beautiful grounds then please share this page and get in touch.
We offer a small class of only 15 children for the first year of schooling. With this small number, children are given quality time for them to progress and flourish.
We can provide daily breakfast club, weekly forest school sessions, sporting opportunities, an extensive range of after school clubs, a new outdoor area and much more.
Visits to our school are warmly welcome, please contact the school office to arrange.

Clymping School will be closed to pupils on Friday 18th February. This decision has been made for the safety of all as a result of the forecast dangers from storm Eunice. The MET office has issued an Amber warning with forecast high winds (up to 70mph gusts) across the day, as well as the flood warning in place for Clymping as a result of storm Eunice.
Amber warning means:
There is a good chance that flying debris could result in a danger to life Damage to buildings and homes is likely, with roofs blown off and power lines brought downIt is likely there will be falling branches and some uprooted trees
The safety of the children and the whole school community was our priority in reaching this decisions, and our coastal and rural location contributed to the raised risk.
Stay safe,
Mr Morrissey
