Where is Chatham Grammar
Set within the Garden of England, Chatham Grammar is located in the heart of Medway in a rural part of Chatham adjacent to the Darland Banks. The location of the School provides excellent transport links by rail to London (with the option of a high-speed service) and its main airports and is less than an hour from the main channel ports giving easy access to mainland Europe. Gillingham railway station is just a 15-20 minute walk away. The School also has excellent transport links by road from the M2/A2 (and has free car parking!).
Within close proximity of the School, there are a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Just five minutes from the academy you will find the Chatham Ski Centre (the only one of its kind in Kent) and the neighbouring Capstone Country Park offering nice walks, fishing, café and children’s play area and some fifteen minutes by car brings you to Historic Dockyard Chatham, one of Britain’s leading maritime heritage destinations where you can explore galleries and museums and enjoy a multitude of festivals and events throughout the year. The nearby Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre offers a wide range of retail outlets if you are in need of some retail therapy alongside a range of and restaurants and cafes.
