On July 30th 1912, at a meeting of schoolmasters at the Factory Club, Northfleet and Swanscombe Schools' Football Association was formed. In 1946 it joined forces with Gravesend to form Thames-side. The name Gravesham was adopted following 1974 local government boundary changes.

"You wouldn’t stand next to a child in a classroom shouting answers
You wouldn’t hover during an exam dictating every choice
You wouldn’t control a child learning to write by grabbing the pencil
So why do we tolerate it in sport? Football is a learning environment"
