"Wonderful School with a True Family Feel"

We've been at Pluckley for a year now and have experienced nothing but warmth and kindness from the staff and children. They've made our child feel loved and included, and we're so grateful for that. The facilities are excellent and the commitment to R.E.F.L.E.C.T values is truly inspiring.

"Outstanding in Every Way"

My child has been at Pluckley since Reception and has thrived under their care. The TKAT ACE programme has made a real difference to their confidence and progress, and we're so grateful for the extra support they've received. We can't recommend this school highly enough!

"A Good, but Not Exceptional, Experience"

We were happy with our experience at Pluckley, but felt that the school could improve communication with parents. Our child enjoyed their time there and made many friends, but we did feel that some of the values and initiatives were not consistently enforced.
