Ofsted report card · 2025 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
4.5/10 Broadly average

269th 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 — 7.7/10 against 1,759 of them, against 6.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 466 pupils in a capacity of 480, leaving 14 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 14 places remaining, what is the current waiting list length? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What provision exists for pupils with additional needs?
