Mixed Primary
4.9/10 Broadly average

238th 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.3/10 against 2,927 of them, against 4.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 61.0 · 41 62% 2.55
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 9.0 · 61 38% 2.36

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, 61% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 9% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the choir and attend Year 6 residential and non-residential trips. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 442 pupils in a school with 378 places, meaning it is over capacity by 64. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places when it is over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs operate during term time?
