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.
For those that might be interested in discovering a bit more about the local area we are very fortunate to have some beautiful landmarks close by and would encourage you to visit the historical town of Rochester, home of Charles Dickens where you will find museums, stunning historic buildings including the 800+ year old Rochester Castle and Rochester Cathedral together with a wide range of hotels and restaurants, bars, tea shops and a buzzing nightlife.
With all of this so close to the academy, there really is a lot on offer for working at the University of Kent Academies Trust.
