Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
5.0/10 Broadly average

229th of 425 primary schools in Kent we can score, 460 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,266 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 5.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 58.0 · 35 40% 1.39

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 12.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024.
