About Us

Built in 1882, the School is set in beautiful surroundings, which reflect our environmental focus.

We make the most of Faversham's many special features to promote learning experiences for all our children.

Through an exciting curriculum our children are taught to observe, discuss, reflect, create and problem solve to flourish and achieve challenging personal targets. Every child has strengths and at Davington we celebrate difference and work to include all pupils; giving children the key skills to shape their future lives. Interactive whiteboards are in all classes and a suite of 40 computers, updated in 2009, supports learning for all.

Davington works to develop a feeling of safety in children. Specific teaching of road safety, cycling proficiency and how to tackle physical challenges promotes awareness of safety by the pupils themselves.

At our school children enjoy their education. Davington believes Every Child Matters and is dedicated to raising standards and supporting families, working together, in partnership with our school. We want children to develop with our school. We want children to develop the skills and interests that will help them achieve their potential.

The opinions and concerns of our children are important to us. Davington works hard to use pupils' skills and interests to design and run activities that raise funds locally and around the world.

Davington School works hard to give our pupils direction and focus. We work with the children to recognise clearly what they need to do to move forward in their learning. We work to enable all pupils to do the very best they can to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding and help them become independent and life long learners.

At  Davington families are important. We offer a weekly, year long "Caterpillar and Butterfly" Pre School Club, preparing your children for school together. Once in school, an open door policy and frequent newsletters and meetings help us share information. An active and friendly Parent, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) raise funds and organise social events which encourage family fun!

We are a Healthy School and Davington supports a healthy lifestyle. Sports activities and extra clubs support our recognised sporting achievements. Activities in class also encourage healthy relationships. Our pupil school council builds self-confidence and gives our pupils a real voice.
