A high achieving primary school that offers a stimulating, secure and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued as members of our school community and is encouraged to reach their full potential.

Ryarsh Primary School has gained the Primary Quality Mark awarded by the Basic Skills Agency in the areas of reading, writing, spelling and maths for the second time. The mark is awarded for a period of 3 years and to retain it, we have to show we are achieving the Primary Quality Mark Elements. Link to the Quality Mark website to learn more.
We are very proud that we have achieved ‘Healthy Schools’ Status. In order to achieve this award we had to evaluate our provision under four headings: Personal, Health and Social Education; Healthy Eating; Physical Activity and Emotional Health and Wellbeing. Many thanks to Miss Rootes for all her hard work in driving this project forward. Read more about the Kent Healthy Schools Programme organised by Kent County Council.
Ryarsh Primary School is part of an international group of schools working towards education for sustainable development and a better quality of life for local and global communities. We believe that when pupils are encouraged to take responsibility for the environmental management of their school, they begin to develop an increased sense of responsibility for their surroundings.
