Byron is a large primary school in the heart of Gillingham. A Victorian building, surrounded by terraced housing. The school has a high percentage of children who have free school meals and SEND. The percentage of pupils who do not speak English as their first language is very high and the stability of the school is very low. The reception classes are fed by 19 feeder nurseries.
In January 2014, a Local Leader of Education and head of Brompton-Westbrook Primary School, a high-performing local school, began working with Byron at the request of the local authority. She worked alongside the then head as executive head of both schools.
