About Chantry Community Primary School

Chantry Community Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 107 applications for 58 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.84. Of those, 57 families put it as their first preference, and 57 first-preference offers were made, meaning virtually every family who wanted it most got a place. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2016 and an ungraded visit in 2022 that confirmed it remains Good. That’s a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2015, when it was rated Inadequate overall. The headteacher is Kathryn Duncan, and the school serves 464 pupils, which is above its official capacity of 420, reflecting its draw in the Gravesham area.
