Check the area around this school
17th 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 — 8.0/10 against 2,152 of them, against 6.7/10 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 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Brompton-Westbrook Primary School
Overview
Brompton-Westbrook Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a "friendly and inclusive" environment where pupils are "thriving." The report highlights a nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe, confident, and proud of their community, supported by an ambitious curriculum that successfully meets diverse needs.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "nurturing atmosphere" and a "Zero Hero" approach to behaviour, resulting in a calm, polite, and purposeful school environment.
- The curriculum is "engaging and exciting," with strong subject knowledge among staff ensuring pupils achieve well and are prepared for future educational steps.
- Reading is central to learning, with "well-trained staff" delivering expert phonics sessions that help most pupils read fluently for their age.
- The school identifies and supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "accurately and swiftly," ensuring additional needs are not a barrier to learning.
- There is a "vast array of high-quality enrichment activities" and leadership roles that support character development and allow pupils to be "articulate, confident and to share their thoughts."
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not consistently check what pupils have remembered long-term before moving on to new learning, meaning pupils are not always learning as much as they could.
- Lesson activities are not always adapted carefully enough to help pupils achieve as highly as they can due to gaps in understanding not being quickly identified.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
