About Lawn Primary School

Lawn Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 35 first-preference applications for just 29 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.03. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and the school made 28 offers to first-preference applicants. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent-view survey for this school, the high demand suggests strong local confidence. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11 in Gravesham, Kent, with a nursery on site. It has a relatively high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 55.5%, which is well above the national average and reflects the diverse intake the school serves. The headteacher is A Wilson, and the school has no religious character.
