EDUCATION in KENT
KENT IS ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING COUNTIES IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHERE EDUCATION IS CONCERNED – AND THAT ’ S OFFICIAL . NOT ONLY HAVE FOUR KENT SCHOOLS BEEN NAMED AMONGST THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY ACCORDING TO THE SUNDAY TIMES MOST RECENT PARENT POWER GUIDE – WIDELY CONSIDERED THE MOST ACCURATE AND RELIABLE ROUND-UP OF ENGLAND ’ S BEST EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS – BUT THE LATEST OFSTED FIGURES SHOW THAT 79 PRIMARY SCHOOLS AND 35 SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KENT HAVE BEEN RANKED OUTSTANDING BY OFSTED INSPECTORS .
What ’ s more , in Kentish classrooms , 11.48 % of pupils achieve a strong pass in reading , writing and maths versus the England average of 9.86 %. For parents and carers of school-age children , it ’ s a huge relief to know that there are so many fantastic schools dotted across the county – 839 including 62 private schools in fact , and deliberating over a bounty of brilliant establishments isn ’ t a bad problem to have .
For children lucky enough to be born and bred in Kent , it means their education is guaranteed to be excellent and that they will learn the essential life skills that a great school imparts in exceptional surroundings while being taught by engaged teachers who love what they do and whose enthusiasm engages our children ’ s developing brains .
It ’ s said that your school days are the best days of your life , which is certainly true if you ’ re living them out in The Garden of England . Kentish kids ( or those children whose parents have decided to hop across the Sussex , Surrey , Essex or London border to guarantee their offspring an excellent education ) will learn , have fun and develop their personalities and interests in a supportive and structured environment , which ultimately means they will grow up to be good people who will contribute meaningfully to society . What more could we want for our flourishing children ?
