About Minterne Junior School

Minterne Junior School in Swale is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and the most recent parent feedback suggests a mixed picture. Ofsted’s 2021 ungraded inspection, which confirmed the school remains Good, did not include a formal Parent View survey, so there is no direct recommendation percentage to report. However, the school is clearly popular with local families: it has 388 pupils against a capacity of 360, meaning it is oversubscribed by 28 places. That level of demand often reflects a solid reputation among parents, even if official satisfaction data isn’t available from the inspection. The school is led by headteacher Kirsty Warner and has a non-religious character.
