20th of 56 primary schools in Medway we can score, 76 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.4/10 against 1,990 of them, against 6.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Saints Church of England Primary School
Overview
All Saints Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a welcoming environment where pupils feel safe, valued, and proud of their learning. The school prioritises well-being and inclusivity, with staff demonstrating high expectations for behaviour and attendance. While the curriculum is broad and ambitious, recent leadership changes have slowed progress in refining certain teaching strategies.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy, respectful and proud of their learning" and value the positive relationships they have with staff.
- Children get off to a "good start in the early years," benefiting from "high-quality talk" and engaging phonics sessions.
- The teaching of new vocabulary is a strength, with staff helping pupils use subject-specific language accurately.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported to access and achieve across the curriculum.
- The school prioritises wider development through extra-curricular activities and events that celebrate cultural diversity.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, activities are not always sharply matched to intended learning, meaning pupils do not consistently learn as effectively as they could.
- Staff checks of pupils’ learning sometimes lack sufficient precision, leading to gaps in knowledge, particularly in mathematics.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
