About St Margaret's at Troy Town CofE Voluntary Controlled Primary School

St Margaret's at Troy Town CofE Voluntary Controlled Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 117 applications for just 30 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.9. Of those, 37 families put it as their first preference, and all 30 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in Medway, though the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage in the data available. The school is a Church of England primary with nursery provision for children from age three, and it currently has 218 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 210. Headteacher Katie Willis leads a mixed, state-funded school that has clearly carved out a place for itself in the local area.
