Broad Balanced Curriculum

We believe that all our children should be given opportunities to thrive and succeed. In order to do this we try to provide opportunities in school and outside, to allow the pupils to fulfil their individual potential.

We are pleased and proud of our SAT results, they have shown a steady improvement over the years. Our academic achievements exceed national expectations. Silverdale is one of the top performing schools in the Hastings area. The achievement of the children in their Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 SATs has been recognised by both the Local Education Authority and the Hastings Excellence Cluster.
