About Greenlands Primary School

Greenlands Primary School in Dartford is a state primary that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed, with 38 applications for 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.31. Of those 38 applicants, 26 put Greenlands as their first preference, and all 26 were offered a place. That level of demand is a strong signal from local families. The school is relatively small, with 185 pupils against a capacity of 210, and has a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 45.9%. Headteacher Alison Cook leads a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 5 to 11. While the parent view data isn’t available here, the oversubscription figures suggest the school is well-regarded enough that families are actively competing for places.
