About Knockhall Primary School

Knockhall Primary School in Dartford received 50 applications for 54 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, meaning it was not oversubscribed and had an oversubscription ratio of 0.93. Of those applications, 21 were first-preference choices, all of which were offered places. This suggests that while the school is a solid local option, it is not the most sought-after in the area. ParentView data, which typically captures how likely current parents are to recommend a school, is not available in the most recent records, so it is difficult to gauge direct parent satisfaction from that metric alone. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated its overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, a downgrade from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. However, inspectors did note that early years provision and personal development were both Good, indicating some areas of strength within the school's offer.
