Always check the school's current admissions policy and last year's cut-off distance.

Every school on this page comes from the Department for Education's official Get Information about Schools register, retrieved on 5 June 2026. Each name links to the school's official record, which is the place to verify details before relying on them.
How do I check the distance from a home to a school in Gillingham, Medway?
