Kingfisher Community Primary School
Chatham, ME5 7NX · Medway · primary school
21st 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.3/10 against 1,642 of them, against 5.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join music clubs and art classes, participate in sports like track and field, handball, and football, and engage with the Griffin Arts Festival and Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 207 pupils in a capacity of 210, 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 arrive without a breakfast club option? What specific support is offered to help the 10.0% who reach the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of its 3 remaining places?
