Schools in LONGFIELD

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Longfield is a village in the Dartford district of North Kent, served by 5 primary schools and 1 secondary school, all coordinated by Kent County Council. Kent's selective secondary system means families in Longfield are expected to sit the Kent Test (11+) in September of Year 6 if they wish to be considered for a grammar school place. Three of the local schools operate faith admission criteria.

Non-selective secondary admissions in Longfield are primarily distance-based. Families living close to the Dartford or Gravesham boundaries should also check admissions arrangements for nearby secondary schools, as the area sits within reach of several neighbouring authorities. Kent County Council publishes the full composite prospectus each autumn outlining all admission arrangements.
