independent nurseries and pre-schools are registered providers of
free
part-time nursery education for three and four year-olds.
Primary schools
There are 85 primary
schools, consisting of:
- infant schools (ages four to seven years);
- junior schools (ages seven to 11 years);

Secondary schools
You can see all of Medway's
secondary schools here. Within the Hoo Peninsula, a two-tier
comprehensive admission system operates and at the age of 11,
children transfer to the Hundred of Hoo Comprehensive School
without assessment.
Within the rest of Medway, a selective admission system
operates, consisting mainly of grammar and high schools. Admission
to the grammar schools is based on an assessment of children during
their final year at primary school.
