Smitham Primary School

At Smitham we want every child to have the chance to try things out, to get a taste of the world around them, to see and do things that they wouldn’t usually do or go places they wouldn’t normally go.  Engaging in cultural pursuits not only enriches the lives of children, it also gives them the confidence to engage in unfamiliar settings later in life.

We therefore devised our ‘Smitham Promises’.  A set of experiences that your child will have the opportunity to access during their time at Smitham Primary School.  By participating in various enrichment opportunities, students will not only develop new skills, but also enhance their enjoyment of school life and their overall wellbeing.
