Education in Medway
Medway Council is committed to realising everyone's potential
and improving levels of achievement in the local community. The
council believes firmly in the principles of lifelong learning and
is dedicated to developing educational opportunities.
Medway has a relatively young population, with 19.2 per cent of
its people aged 14 years or less. One of Medway Council’s top
priorities is to ensure that young children are provided with the
highest-quality opportunities to learn. Its early years development
plan was singled out for praise by the government.
Medway has 108 schools, including six grammar schools, with a
total of almost 43,000 pupils.

activities. Its Youth Parliament, was set up because Medway
Council believes that young people can play a powerful role in
reinvigorating local democracy and should be involved in issues and
decisions affecting their future.
