Learning innovation and Ubuntu are two elements that are vital to Dartford Bridge Community Primary School.

Following our opening in an award winning new building in 2009 we are a school that continues to grow and expand. We are located on the new Bridge Community Campus and more information about the local area can be found here.

We currently have 352 fantastic pupils including a maintained nursery and two form entry in Year R and KS1. From September this will extend to our first ever two form entry Year 3 with additional classes opening over the new few years.

Visit our website to see some of the exciting adventures that the staff and children embark on including; Residential trips, Minecraft Club, Street Dance and Football. These are just some of the exciting extra-curricular opportunities we provide and encourage our children to participate in. While visiting the website please make sure you check out our ‘In the Spotlight’ section – our weekly celebration of our children’s talents inside, and outside, of school!

The end of year productions are always a huge hit with the children, families and even the Mayor of Dartford. Guests who attend proclaim they will return again next year (and they do).

Staff and pupils are proud to be a part of the school and community. Why not join our exciting school that is working towards becoming ‘Outstanding’ and share in the achievement of our pupils and staff?
