Welcome to CHANTRY COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL I am delighted and proud to share with you our vibrant and diverse primary school in the Riverside area of Gravesend.
We are a 2 form entry primary school with a nursery that likes to celebrate the success of every child at every level, encouraging a thirst for learning that continues with our pupils throughout their future school experiences and lives.
We have created a warm, open and welcoming atmosphere at Chantry, focusing on the positive, friendly relationships we have both within the school and also with our parents. Visitors to the school comment favourably on the calm, orderly and well behaved environment we have created.
