Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School
Edenbridge, TN8 7NH · Kent · primary school
412nd 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 3,977 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 46.0 · 14 | 62% | 0.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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, 46.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6 out of 10 among them, against 1.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including choir, computing, craft, dance, drama, French, gardening, and laser light. Sports options cover cross country, multi sports, football, netball, and tennis. Music lessons are available for violin, guitar, and piano. Trips visit Hever Castle, Bore Place, Chiddingstone Castle, Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, Bough Beech Reservoir, Kent Life, The Observatory Science Centre, and Young Voices at The O2. Both breakfast and after-school clubs operate.
Getting in. The school has 176 pupils in a capacity of 205, leaving 29 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific support is available for children who need extra help with reading or maths? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving to secondary education?
