About King's Farm Primary School

King's Farm Primary School sits within the Kent local authority, a large and varied county for primary education. In Gravesham, the school ranks 11th out of 25 primaries, placing it in the middle of the local pack. Its top-performing peers in the area include Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, Leigh Academy Dartford, and Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Across Kent as a whole, King's Farm ranks 197th out of 459 primaries, and the nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Northfleet, about 3.4 kilometres away. The school itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2018, and an ungraded visit in February 2024 confirmed it remains Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2016, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall.
