Information about the school

St Gregory’s Catholic School is a Catholic secondary school and part of the Kent Catholic Schools’ Partnership (KCSP). KCSP is a multi-academy trust (MAT) established by the Archdiocese of Southwark for Catholic education across Kent and it currently comprises 28 academies of which 23 are primary schools and five are secondary schools.

A seven-form entry secondary school located in Tunbridge Wells, St Gregory’s is a popular destination for pupils from its Catholic partner primary schools in Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks. As an inclusive academy, its dedicated staff, helpers and governance committee members work hard to ensure that every student is supported and challenged to be their very best. Each individual is encouraged to grow spiritually and intellectually, so that unique and positive contributions can be made to society and the world.

In its most recent denominational inspection in June 2024, St Gregory’s was judged as ‘Outstanding’ for Catholic Life and Mission and ‘Good’ for both Religious Education and Collective Worship and, in its latest Ofsted inspection in October 2024, the school was judged as ‘Good’ in all areas. At the heart of the report is recognition of the school's mission to ensure that ‘every child is known and loved’ inspectors highlighted a “warm and welcoming environment”, where students feel valued, supported and able to thrive.
