About this school
Burnt Oak Primary School is a primary academy in Gillingham. It teaches children aged 3 to 11.
Ofsted has not yet inspected Burnt Oak Primary School under its current framework. Seeing a school for yourself shows what no page can, so arrange a visit before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Burnt Oak Primary School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Burnt Oak Primary School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Burnt Oak Primary School (closed August 2026)

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
