Stelling Minnis CEP School is a co-educational Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School for children aged 4 - 11 years. Set between the beautiful rural villages of Bossingham and Stelling Minnis and close to Canterbury, the school was established in 1784 and is one of Kent’s oldest.

Children should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if they have symptoms of COVID-19 and they either: have a high temperature do not feel well enough to go to school, college or childcare, or do their normal activities.
They can go back to school, college or childcare when they feel better or do not have a high temperature.
Do ask if you need further clarification.
Visitors to the school office will still be asked to wear masks please.
