Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
3.7/10 Broadly average

315th 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 3,329 of them, against 5.1/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 59.0 · 37 40% 1.47

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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 12.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. 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, 5.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. There are 104 pupils in a school with 105 places, leaving 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 1 place available, how does the school handle waitlists if a child leaves mid-year? Since the latest inspection was in January 2026, what specific improvements have been made since the report? How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths?
