Wrotham Road Primary School

The Governors, Headteacher and Staff at Wrotham Road Primary School would like to welcome you to our school. We pride ourselves in being a multi-cultural school which plays an important part in the local community. We are situated very close to Gravesend town centre.   We currently have 370 pupils on roll including 40 pupils in our nursery who attend on a part time basis. The Headteacher, Mrs Hetherington, would be more than happy to show prospective parents around the school and answer any questions you may have.

The school day begins at 8:55am each morning and children can arrive ten minutes before this time as a teacher is on duty in the playground. The school closes for infants at 3:20pm and 3:25pm for juniors. At our school we encourage pupils to approach learning with an increasing degree of independence and expect and achieve high standards of attainment and behaviour. We believe that our school is a happy, supportive learning environment where we endeavour to provide the best education we can.

We are fully committed to equality of opportunity for all pupils. The school will try to ensure that our teaching programmes and materials promote positive views with regard to race, religion, gender and physical or mental disability. We hope that through the relationships of staff with each other, parents and children, that pupils will be helped to form caring relationships with each other and the adults around them, free from prejudice or stereotyping.

If you decide you would like your child to attend this school, we look forward to working with you. The partnership between home and school is very important and one we value greatly.
