Discover Lorenden

Lorenden Preparatory School is situated in the village of Painter's Forstal between Faversham and the North Downs and has been at its present site since 1993. It was set up as a charitable trust and is currently administered by a Board of Governors with Mrs Penny Tebbit as the Headteacher.

Lorenden is very much a rural school.  The school grounds form a well enclosed and safe playing area and offer the children one of the most beautiful playgrounds in Kent.  There is a pond and wildlife area set aside for nature studies.

Our academic record at Lorenden is excellent.  More than that, children leave Lorenden with a foundation of key life skills: enquiring, resourceful, self confident and able to work with others.

The schools aims are to:

• develop and discover the gifts within each child
• recognise and meet individual needs
• develop a happy community based on mutal respect and consideration
• provide a safe, healthy, caring environment to live and learn in
• strive for excellence in all we do.

We endeavour to ensure that, when pupils transfer to their senior schools, they are not just thoroughly taught but also well educated.  The children are made aware of their heritage and responsibility for the preservation of the environment.  They are taught to show respect for all adults, each other and the school.  Self-discipline and self-reliance are considered essential.  The valuing of tradition gives a sense of continuity and stability.
