Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
7.3/10 Above average

82nd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.4/10 against 1,741 of them, against 8.4/10 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 77.0 · 82 40% 3.28

Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 17.0 · 87 25% 2.18

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

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 109 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 101 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not reached the expected standard in core subjects? What does the daily timetable look like for a Year 6 student? How does the school manage class sizes given the current low enrolment?
