Why Move to Deal
Once a crucial naval stronghold, the Sunday Time Voted Deal as the “Best Place to Live” in 2018. Set in the affluent county of Kent, Deal is in a classic picturesque seaside location that is just a little more laid back and relaxed than most.
Deal has a rich history as one of the original Cinque Ports and a major port and landing stage for ships in the 16th to 19th Centuries. A stunningly photogenic place, boasting quaint streets and pretty pastel coloured houses. Following an extensive refurbishment, Deal Pier is a landmark not to be missed.
Whilst most coastal beaches are crammed with holidaymakers during the summer season, Deal tends to be less hectic. Copious stretches of beachfront and a handsome sea pathway make an excellent place for walking, jogging or just enjoying the views, including France on a clear day!
Located an hour and 20 minutes from St Pancras Station, the area has become a commuter hot spot due to the capitals ever widening commuter belt. However, the town also offers a good range of employment opportunities of its own.
Thanks to the county’s transportation links with London, and to continental Europe by sea and rail, imports, exports, and freight are major sectors, offering work in operations and logistics.
Another jewel in the town’s crown is that Deal has a very active local community and has remained largely untouched by big retailers. Bursting with charming independent shops, it is not hard to see why the Daily Telegraph decided to award Deal “High Street of the Year in 2013”.
Quiet but by no means boring, for a small-town Deal certainly packs a punch in the culinary scene offering a huge range of eateries from fine dining to good old pub grub. There are several castles in the area open to the public, and a pleasant cycle and footpath path links both Deal and Walmer Castles along the beachfront.
Schools & Education
Deal poses a good choice of schools which perform to very high standards.
Kingsdown & Ringwould C of E Primary and Warden House Primary School managed to attain the highest rating of “outstanding” following their last Ofsted inspections.
Sir Roger Manwood’s School is the highest performing secondary school in the area having been given an “outstanding” grade by Ofsted whilst the Sandwich Technology Senior School was given a rating of “good”
Several FE colleges are in the wider county. East Kent College (EKC) is a further education college which also provides higher education courses. Located across several campuses with the main one being in Broadstairs it offers plenty of courses. The college is currently refurbishing existing buildings to provide better facilities for students.
