Cornwallis Academy

Cornwallis is a fully inclusive school, enabling all students to be the best they can be by having ‘ambitions for all’. In line with our ‘SMILE’ ethos, our aim is to motivate, inspire, excite and engage all students so that they can be successful.

We place students’ wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. A strong community ethos permeates, throughout the school, focusing on learning and progress as well as the whole child. Our popularity continues to grow with record student numbers at an all-time high.

Our aim is to ensure that all students achieve their full potential within a safe and nurturing environment. We also aim for all our students to develop as confident, courteous and capable young people.

We have an excellent team of teaching and support staff, who are committed to ensuring lessons are engaging and challenging. We offer support where support is needed and stretch and challenge each child to do the best they can. It is important for us to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum to allow students to discover their interests.

We offer a number of prestigious scholarship programmes, in Art, Football (in partnership with Maidstone United Football Club) and Dance (in partnership with Maidstone Dance Studios).

We are also proud of the pastoral care we provide for our students and do everything in our power to make them feel valued and part of a community.
