Chevening, St Botolph's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School
Sevenoaks, TN13 2SA · Kent · primary school
99th 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 2,767 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 8.0/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 14.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0 out of 10 among them, against 8.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Lexia Club and Activ8, participate in sports including dance, gymnastics, athletics, handball, tennis, football, and lacrosse, and attend both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 196 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 14 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the curriculum support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard? What specific activities take place during the Activ8 sessions? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving to secondary education?
