Good primaries in Rochester, Medway and surrounding areas?

We are looking into buying a house in Rochester and obviously, we would like good primaries for our boys (one is in Reception, another is 2) which would set a good standard for getting into Medway grammar later. We can consider Catholic or Anglican schools as well, I don?t know how oversubscribed they are?
Basically, I noticed that there are plenty of good schools in Rainham but I prefer Rochester long term and not sure if I can get in the best schools while living in Rochester? What are common catchments in these areas? I am currently in London, where catchments are less than 0.5m or very oversubscribed, so cannot really compared if Medway is the same.
P.S. Ideally we have to be close to train station or on a bus route, due to daily commute to London.
Any advise would be very much appreciated!

We’ve recently moved to Bright Road in Chatham (Kent) and I’m looking for some local advice. I’m hoping to find a good primary school for my son — ideally one that’s supportive with 11+ preparation. Also looking for a nice nursery for my 3-year-old daughter.

Would really appreciate any recommendations or insights from local parents!
