Chilmington Green School
About Chilmington Green School
Chilmington Green School is a state secondary in Ashford, within the Kent local authority, and it sits in a landscape dominated by some of the country's most selective grammar schools. The top-performing peers in the area, based on ranking scores, are Dartford Grammar School, The Judd School, and Dartford Grammar School for Girls — all highly selective and academically elite. Chilmington Green is a very different proposition: a non-selective, mixed 11-19 school with no religious character, led by headteacher Jonathan Rutland. It is still relatively new and growing — its current roll of 274 pupils is well below its capacity of 1140, suggesting plenty of room for expansion. The school is already heavily oversubscribed for 2025/26, however, with 640 applications for 169 places and an oversubscription ratio of 3. 79. Only 133 first-preference offers were made from 163 first-preference applications, indicating strong local demand despite the school's small size and recent establishment.
