Horsted school is in a small, friendly estate in Chatham and is an integral part of the local community. The school has excellent relationships with the children and families and provides a safe caring environment with highly-skilled staff, where children are individually nurtured and challenged to strive to do their best. Through inspiring, ambitious, hands-on teaching, we aim to foster a deep-rooted love for learning and sense of wonder all the way from Year R – Year 6.

At our school, children are valued as individuals and encouraged to be resilient, creative and enthusiastic learners, who are able to positively transition to secondary school and continue their education.
