Cliftonville Primary School is one of the largest Primary Schools in Kent. We have 567 children on roll and 48 in our Nursery. The school was built in 1975 as a First school and over the years has grown with nearly all Year groups being three form entry. Although a large school with over seventy staff, we still are able to foster a caring ethos based on teams within the school. We have benefited from new buildings provided by the LEA and through our own funding. The school has been awarded the FA Charter Mark for football, the Quality of Study Support mark and we are Investors in People. We have strong links with the Kent Music School and one of our strengths is our teaching of music. We offer a wide variety of music tuition and a wonderful choir that has sung at local events such as Sea Sunday. They have also performed at local care homes giving pleasure to the elderly.

As part of the Thanet Excellence Cluster our pupils have benefited greatly from the three main strands. We have recently appointed another Learning Mentor to work specifically with Key Stage 1 children. We have also appointed two assistants to work with our Gifted and Talented children and another to work on Emotional Literacy with small groups and individuals. The coordinators for these strands work closely with the Teaching Assistants in identifying pupils that will benefit from these programmes.
