Welcome
to Barnsole Primary School

As your local primary school, we are committed to ensuring that the children of Gillingham grow into amazing, polite, respectful, well-behaved and confident young people.

Our Barnsole teachers and support staff work brilliantly together to create a sense of family amongst the children and their parents and carers alike. By establishing such strong relationships, we ensure that the children are happy – but also challenged. We encourage risk taking and resilience in all our children.
