Ide Hill Church of England Primary School
Sevenoaks, TN14 6JT · Kent · primary school
146th 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 2,805 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 6.7/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.86 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 44.0 · 100 | 25% | 2.50 |
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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 44.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9 out of 10 among them, against 6.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Kapla Club, Ide Hill Primary FC, cricket, rugby, the school choir, and ukulele groups. Trips include visits to The Golden Hinde, Riverhill Gardens, Bore Place, London, and Thorpe Park, plus a Year 6 residential. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 154 pupils in a school with 154 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 do not reach the expected standard in maths? What does the Kapla Club involve for younger children? How are places allocated when demand exceeds the 154 available spots?
