About Temple Mill Primary School

Temple Mill Primary School in Medway is a popular choice among local families, with 149 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of nearly 5:1. Of those applicants, 39 put it as their first preference, and the school made 30 first-preference offers. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents, though it is worth noting that the school does not have a published Parent View recommendation percentage in the available data. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision, and is led by headteacher Nicola Willson. It has a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2018, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. The school’s capacity is 210 pupils, but it currently has 251 on roll, meaning it is operating above its official capacity.
