Kennington Church of England Academy
Ashford, TN24 9AG · Kent · primary school
249th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.5/10 against 2,392 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Choir, Board Games, Escape Room, Gardening, Bible Craft, Book Club, and Times Tables/Sudoku, alongside Football, Netball, and Cricket. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 357 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving just 3 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a place is likely to be competitive for new applicants.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the higher standard? What are the specific times and costs for the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for new starters when places are this limited?
