I’m moving near to William Mundy Way road in Dartford and have two children in primary school. Does anyone know if there’s a good chance of getting them spots in nearby primary schools? How about the traffic to schools?

You need to contact the admissions team at KCC to find out which schools have places in the relevant years initially.

I contacted a few nearby schools, and they mentioned that all spots are currently full. Does anyone know what the traffic is like when commuting to primary schools in the area?

I'd suggest reposting with the school names or at least the area in the title. You are more likely to attract the attention of someone who knows. Or maybe try Mumsnet Local?

Schools in Dartford are at breaking point. I know of so many children being home schooled in the borough and have been on waiting lists for a significant period of time. Can they stay at your current school and commute?

Unfortunately traffic is also horrendous at school drop off and pick up times. There are so many new homes being built in the area and traffic seems to have really built up recently.

We are planning for secondary schools hence thinking to move here. We might have options for Bexley and dartford grammar school in year applications. Does any one know which school is best for in year admission to get seat? I think dartford grammar school seems to be oversubscribed not sure whether they will conduct test for in year admissions or not? Does anyone have any idea on in year admission for Bexley schools or Wilmington grammar schools?

Has your child passed their 11+ already?
