Allhallows Primary School is a small, rural school in the village of Allhallows on the Hoo Peninsula, some eight miles from Rochester. The school was first opened in April 1972 but was then housed in a building adjacent to the current site, formerly the Middle School. In 1994, the Primary School moved into the spacious present building, which has been modernised for its new community.
The School has approximately 124 pupils on roll and pupils are grouped in five classes.Four of which are mixed age classes. Organisation of the classes may however vary from year to year according to staffing and numbers on roll. We are proud of our small school and the ‘family’ atmosphere we enjoy as we learn to know and care for each other in a personal way that many larger schools can not.
Pupils enjoy school and this is reflected in their good attendance and their keen participation in activities. Pupils are friendly and polite and relate well to others. Behaviour is consistently good in lessons and around the school. Pupils adopt healthy lifestyles and have a clear understanding of the importance of eating a balanced diet, keeping safe and taking regular exercise. They readily take on responsibilities such as serving on the school council and they make good contributions to the local and wider community. The school works well with a range of external agencies to provide well-targeted support for any pupils who need extra help.

The school recognises its role within the community and is committed to working in partnership with its community towards providing high quality education and care for all its pupils.
Parents give good support and are very pleased with the care and education provided. The headteacher, the school’s positive atmosphere, and the approachability of the staff all come in for high praise. Typical parental comments are, ‘The staff are always approachable and very helpful’, ‘We are very pleased with the way the headteacher leads and manages the school’ and ‘The atmosphere is warm and friendly’.
