About Temple Hill Primary Academy

Parents considering Temple Hill Primary Academy will find strong signals of satisfaction from those who know it best. In the most recent Parent View survey, 96% of the 23 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That figure is backed by consistently positive feedback: every parent agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school and feels safe there. On behaviour, 95% agreed or strongly agreed that the school ensures pupils are well behaved, and 96% felt concerns are dealt with properly. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 151 applications for just 69 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.19. Only 55 first-preference applications were made, meaning every family who put it first was offered a place, but the overall demand shows it is a sought-after option in Dartford.
