This is an average-sized primary school, serving a locality in south Chatham. It has part-time nursery provision for two- to four-year-olds. The school converted to become an academy in November 2013. Earlier that year, its predecessor school was inspected and was judged to be good. Wayfield Primary School is part of the Griffin Schools Trust academy chain. It is due to leave this chain to join another, local, multi-academy trust from September 2016. The school does not meet the floor standards. These are the government’s minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics. There is a children’s centre on the same site as the school. Many more pupils than the average are entitled to the support of pupil premium funding. Most pupils are White British. A slightly higher than average proportion of pupils have special educational needs or disability.
