Smeeth Primary School serves the beautiful rural village of Smeeth and the neighbouring area of Brabourne Lees. Smeeth is one of several villages to the east of Ashford not far from the North Downs. The school is set in lovely surroundings; there is a beautiful playing field, split into two levels by a bank, and a playground bordered by a large patio area and our new playground extension with trim trail, clamber stack and fire pit for outdoor learning. From the top of the playing field are views to the North Downs and from the upper school campus are views across Hatch Park. There is an excellent school hall, a canteen and a library. The schoolhouse is now part of the school's working area and contains the Head Teacher's office, the Secretary's office, reception, and an upstairs storage area and teacher's room. There are five classrooms, two in the extended Victorian building and three more in the building that includes the hall.
