Check the area around this school
376th 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 3,182 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 1.3/10 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 | 30.0 · 3 | 40% | 0.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Borough Green Primary School
Overview
Borough Green Primary School is described as a “warm community” where pupils are “cared for” and feel included. The inspection found that the school provides a high-quality education with a “carefully sequenced curriculum” that helps pupils build knowledge effectively. Leaders have established “high ambitions for behaviour and learning,” resulting in positive attitudes and strong academic progress, particularly in reading and core subjects.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well designed” with precise knowledge and skills, allowing pupils to “remember the new curriculum content well.”
- Staff support individual pupils effectively, ensuring those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils “achieve well.”
- Pupils develop into “fluent and accurate readers” through effective phonics teaching and closely matched books.
- Behaviour is “consistently good,” with pupils interacting respectfully and using language to resolve disagreements.
- Leaders and governors are “well trained” and provide appropriate challenge and support to move the school forward.
Areas to improve
- Attendance remains an issue, as some pupils, particularly disadvantaged ones, “miss out on too much learning,” creating gaps in knowledge.
- Teaching quality is “not as consistent” in a small number of subjects, requiring staff to develop more secure subject knowledge across the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
