About
School overview

We recognise that children have a wide range of abilities, talents, and personalities, and we work closely with them to provide the support necessary for success. By offering a variety of experiences both in and out of the classroom, students are encouraged to develop creativity, innovation, and lifelong skills for their future endeavours. We are proud of our Alumni network, with many returning to inspire the next generation. Gillingham School is a friendly, welcoming, and inspiring environment, characterised by high expectations and respectful relationships. Our students feel safe, secure, and confident. The school's positive ethos and strong values are longstanding features that help shape the character of our students. Our motto, 'Docendo Discimus' , translates to 'Through Teaching, We Learn' . Learning is a shared, lifelong process, and the partnerships between students, teachers, and parents are vital in supporting each child's development. We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
