Kents Hill Infant Academy is a nurturing and inclusive school where children are truly at the heart of everything we do. As part of South Essex Academy Trust, our values—Belonging, Compassion, Curiosity, and Empowerment—shape every aspect of school life, ensuring that every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential. Empowering growth together!
We take a holistic, human-first approach to education, recognising that every child is unique. Our therapeutic and nurturing environment is particularly supportive of children with high needs, and we are committed to removing barriers to learning. Emotional health and well-being are central to our ethos, and we go the extra mile to create a safe, happy, and engaging space where children can thrive.
Our curriculum is designed to spark curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning. By following Dee Fink’s ‘Significant Learning Model’ and incorporating the ‘in the moment planning’ approach in the Early Years, we blend academic development with essential life skills. This ensures that our children leave us not only with strong foundations in learning, but also as resilient, confident, and compassionate individuals.
At Kents Hill Infant Academy, we believe in high expectations for all. We empower children to take ownership of their learning, develop a strong work ethic, and embrace challenges with a growth mindset.
Through a balance of structured teaching and hands-on experiences, we create a learning journey that is engaging, dynamic, and tailored to the needs of every child.
Above all, we are a school where every child belongs, is encouraged to flourish, and is prepared for the next stage of their education with confidence and enthusiasm.
All of our staff are always happy to help. Please contact our friendly office team, or you child’s classteacher if you have any questions or concerns at any point.
