Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.4/10 Broadly average

272nd 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 3,804 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 3.9/10 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, 42.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 17.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 3.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for dance, coding, chess, Lego, cooking, and choir. Sports include tennis, hockey, cricket, swimming, Tiger Troop, Daily Mile, Skip2Bfit, and Bikeability. Arts and music cover nativity performances, a Young Voices choir performance at the O2 Arena, piano, drums, guitar, ukulele, and vocal coaching. Trips include a whole-school pantomime visit, a Year 6 residential, and music-themed experiences. There is no breakfast or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 105 pupils in a school with 105 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to raise attainment in reading and writing? How does the school manage entry when demand exceeds the 105 available places?
