History of our School

Fawkham School was founded in 1873, with additions made in 1904, 1960, 1994, 2002 and 2010. A large building programme completed in 2002 was officially opened by Estelle Morris M.P Secretary of State for Education and Skills. Our learning environment now provides us with four fully resourced classrooms, a hall, a library, a music room, and a kitchen which opened in 2010, enabling fresh and healthy meals to be cooked on site. In addition to this, we have an outdoor classroom, a playing field, an all-weather pitch and extensive woodland and gazebo.

As a school, we are immensely proud of our long and successful history. We are, however, never complacent and continually review our policies in order to keep in line with current changes. It is our prime aim, as in the past, to achieve the highest possible standards in achievement, behaviour and attitude from all our children.

I, Sarah Ellen Howe, an ex-pupil teacher (provisionally certified) took charge of Fawkham Mixed School. It is a new school lately built and was formally opened on Monday evening July 14th with a tea to the parents which was given by Mr. and Mrs. Hohler of Fawkham Manor. Admitted 18 girls and 10 boys varying in age.
