Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.6/10 Broadly average

321st 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 4,081 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.3/10 among them, against 2.8/10 nationally. 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 60.0 · 39 40% 1.56

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. An Ofsted inspection in 2022-09 rated the school Good. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.3 out of 10 among them, against 2.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Lego Engineers Club or Mrs Horton's Multiskills Club, take guitar lessons, and visit PGL. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 82 pupils in a building with 140 places, leaving 58 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the small class size affect individual teaching time?
