Imagine stepping onto the grounds of Mead Road Infant School. It is located in Chislehurst, Kent, a charming town, but it is so much more than a standard little school. It’s a place where children learn, grow and thrive. Mead Road Infant School opened its doors to younger learners in 1961. But it wasn’t always a welcoming place. It was once a place of work and industry. The school stands on the site of an old brickyard. Bricks were made using clay taken from a nearby river, in fact. But the school’s history is not all bricks and mortar. This is a place where young minds blossom. The school has a whole-child approach to learning. This means that they believe in fostering not only academic excellence, but also the development of each child’s social, emotional, and communicative skills. The school’s curriculum is varied and exciting. It’s intended to engage, enthuse, and, as the school hopes, inspire their pupils to begin a lifelong thirst for discovery and knowledge. The school is part of Orion Education, a multi-academy trust, and, with other members in Beckenham and Mottingham, it is a leader in educational innovation. So the next time you are in Chislehurst, take a moment to visit Mead Road Infant School. You might be surprised at what you find. It’s a place where children learn, grow and thrive, and where the past echoes amidst the laughter and learning.
