Headteacher Welcome Message

Kents Hill Infant Academy

Kents Hill Infants – more than a school – we are a family!

As a parent myself, I know how important it is you choose the right school for your child in order to shape their future and achieve their full potential. Teaching your children is a privilege we never underestimate at our school.

Our team have created a school that puts the children at the heart of everything we do. We go the extra mile to ensure every child and family feels like they belong as part of the KHIA family. Everyone is welcome and included. Being kind is important to both me and my team. When children join our school, their families also join our special community where we communicate openly to work together in partnership.

I am so proud of how our curriculum gives children opportunities in addition to the National Curriculum. We prioritize mental health, well-being, and self-care as life skills that are essential to learn in the modern world. This is reflected in the day-to-day life of our school.

If you have any questions about our school, or wish to book a school tour, please contact our school office where our friendly team will be happy to help you.

We look forward to both meeting and welcoming you and your child to our school.

Our schools reflect the values of the Essex Approach to understanding behaviour and supporting emotional wellbeing, known as Trauma Perceptive Practice (TPP)

  • Compassion and Kindness
  • Hope
  • Connection and Belonging

We endeavour to make sure that at our schools, these values run through all the school policies and practices.

Be Ready, Respectful, and Safe!
