Welcome to Temple Hill Primary Academy 

I am incredibly proud to be the CEO of The Golden Thread Alliance.   I am confident that every child will thrive – I absolutely insist that every child and every family at Temple Hill is treated with respect and that every child is treated as an individual.

Temple Hill is a friendly, vibrant and exciting place for children to learn.  We offer a wide range of activities and cater for the needs of all children. Temple Hill Primary Academy is located in Dartford, Kent.  

We currently work in partnership with nine schools in Gravesend and Dartford as a part of The Golden Thread Alliance and we are working tirelessly to ensure that every child across each school has equality of opportunity and equality of provision.

We hope you enjoy exploring our website, but nothing will be as good as paying us a visit!  If you are new to the area, please call to make an appointment to view the school.  If you are an existing parent, you know you are regularly invited in to school.  Once again, thank you for visiting and we hope you enjoy your visit.
