Welcome to the Kent Spitfires Study Centre!

Our Study Centre is based in the Kent Cricket Academy building at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury - home to Kent County Cricket Club. It is funded by The Club, Kent County Council and The Department for Education.

We have been open and fully operational now for over three years and have worked with most of the schools in Canterbury and the surrounding areas. We receive very positive feedback from teachers, parents and pupils and Playing for Success Kent is proving to be an overwhelming success.

Kent County Cricket Club has provided an excellent backdrop and educational setting. The club has been very accomodating, enabling us to venture around the facilities on the very popular ground tour.

Any questions, children?!

 

 

The Study Centre has now established itself within the local schools clusters and has been very popular with the Primary schools with several having sent more than one cohort of pupils.

The curriculum has changed and developed to reflect the requirements of the pupils who attend. The emphasis is towards a very positive approach to learning, enjoyment and improving self-esteem and academic progress in the areas of English, mathematics and ICT.

We now have an excellent group of staff at the 'Spitfires'. Our OCN-accredited 'mentor scheme' is a great success and is helping to develop an ever-increasing base of mentors. Please contact the centre for further information about becoming a mentor.

The Centre continues to develop through the tireless efforts and support of the staff, mentors and our various sponsors (see links below). A BIG thank you to all of them!!
