About Miers Court Primary School

Miers Court Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 180 applications for just 57 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.16. That means more than three families applied for every available spot, and all 50 first-preference applicants were offered a place. While the school does not publish a formal parent satisfaction score, this level of demand is a strong signal that families in Medway rate it highly. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. It is led by headteacher Lindsay Fordyce and currently has 422 pupils on roll, just two over its official capacity of 420. Around 16.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools.
