I am very privileged and honoured to be Headteacher at a school which is a very special place to learn and work. Everyone at Hope View School is dedicated to ensuring every pupil, regardless of their ability achieve and reach their full potential.

There are currently 106 wonderful pupils who attend Hope View School. Learning takes place on either the Lower School Site in Chartham or at the Upper School Site in Chilham. Pupils are immersed in a diverse curriculum which is broad and balanced to prepare them with the knowledge and skills required for adult life and to become valued and positive members of society.
