About Joy Lane Primary Foundation School

Joy Lane Primary School is a place where every child is given the support they need to achieve beyond expectations in an environment where our staff go above and beyond to facilitate all learning. We pride ourselves on our in-house catering facility, ‘Oyster Bay Catering’, which allows us to design our own menus and offer a wide range of home-cooked meals using fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers, where possible.

"Needs some improvement"

We're generally happy with Joy Lane, but there are a few areas where we feel the school could improve. Communication with parents could be better, and sometimes it feels like the school is not fully utilising the facilities they have. That being said, the teachers are mostly great, and our child is happy and thriving, so we'll keep an eye on things and see how things develop.

"Love the Joy Lane community!"

We absolutely love Joy Lane Primary School! The teachers are kind, knowledgeable and go above and beyond to help our child learn and grow. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the values of 'BeReady, Respectful, Responsible' are clearly evident in the way the children are encouraged to be their best selves.

"Great school, great staff!"

We moved away from Whitstable a couple of years ago, but still keep in touch with friends who have children at Joy Lane. The school's focus on a love of learning, and the way they encourage children to be kind and considerate of others, really shone through in our experience.

"Fantastic school, fantastic staff!"

We've been at Joy Lane for a couple of years now, and we're consistently impressed by the quality of education and care our child receives. The staff are friendly, approachable and genuinely care about the children's well-being. The facilities are excellent, and the school's focus on healthy eating and lifestyle choices is something we really appreciate.
