St John’s Catholic Primary School in Gravesend is a large, vibrant and welcoming four-form-entry Catholic school with a strong Christian ethos rooted in the life of its parish and the wider Kent Catholic Schools’ Partnership. Guided by the Gospel words “I have come that you may have life and have it to the full,” it focuses on helping every child grow in faith, character and academic achievement, discovering their unique strengths through a rich, creative curriculum and wide enrichment offer. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2023 confirmed that it continues to be Good, reflecting high expectations, a caring culture and a commitment to personal and academic excellence for all. Prospective staff can expect to join a large, diverse community where Catholic faith, inclusion, and close collaboration with families and parish are central to school life.
