About Wilmington Primary School

Wilmington Primary School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11 in Dartford, Kent, and it is currently running exactly at capacity with 210 pupils on roll. That full house is no accident: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 97 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.46 applicants per spot. Every one of those 28 offers went to first-preference families, which tells you how sought-after this school is locally. The pupil body is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with just 7.6% of children eligible for free school meals — well below the typical primary figure of around 23% nationally. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Jack Curry. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in December 2024, confirmed that standards are maintained, and the school continues to hold a Good rating across leadership, early years provision and overall effectiveness.
