In 2004 the school gained specialist status as a maths and computing specialist school. This guarantees the school extra government funding in order to continue the running and expansion of its facilities. The school also gained language specialist status, in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gravesendgrammar.eu/languages-specialism |title=Languages Specialism |work=archive.org |access-date=22 September 2015 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140403190851/http://www.gravesendgrammar.eu/languages-specialism |archive-date=3 April 2014 }}</ref>
In 2019, A £7 million expansion proposed by Gravesend Grammar School was approved. The new expansion includes a new teaching block for Year 12 & 13 students and a new Canteen. This new expansion project would bring the number of new Year 7 students up from 174 to 210 students. Construction of the new Sixth Form block started in 2021 going smoothly. Construction of the Canteen started in March 2022. In July 2022, the project was paused over fire safety concerns due to there being no fire hydrants and reliable water supplies. This equipment had to be installed at an additional cost of £900,000. In November 2022, the new sixth-form building opened while the new canteen is still undergoing construction work and is expected to be opened in Late February 2023. On top of the new expansion, minor improvements have been enforced on the main school building, including roof asbestos removal and new internal windows.
