Brompton Academy is an extremely popular, oversubscribed academy. We have fantastic new buildings with outstanding facilities and Apple technologies for all, enabling us to enhance and support cutting-edge learning strategies required for continuous improvement. Brompton Academy is proud of its comprehensive website and would encourage applicants to visit for further information: http://www.bromptonacademy.org.uk/., Set within the Garden of England, Brompton Academy is located adjacent to the Great Lines Heritage Park, which are Medway's most prominent green spaces with over 70 hectares of open space. The location of the Academy 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. Gillingham railway station is just a 10-15 minute walk away. The Academy also has excellent transport links by road from the M2/A2 (and has free car parking!).

Within close proximity of the Academy, there are a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Just five minutes by car brings you to Historic Dockyard Chatham, one of Britain's leading maritime heritage destinations where you can explore galleries and museums and enjoy a multitude of festivals and events throughout the year. The Dockside Outlet centre sports over 40 great retailers if you are interested in some retail therapy, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, gyms, hotels and a newly built Odeon Cinema.
