Hoo St Werburgh Primary School and the Marlborough
Rochester, ME3 9BS · Medway · primary school
46th of 56 primary schools in Medway we can score, 76 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 2,991 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 2.2/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.89 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 1.0 · 21 | 25% | 0.53 |
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, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 1.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024.

Getting in. The school has 548 pupils in a capacity of 525, meaning it is over capacity by 23. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard in maths? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating while addressing the gap between its results and the national median?
