Kings Hill School Primary and Nursery
West Malling, ME19 4LS · Kent · primary school
69th 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 4,078 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.4/10 among them, against 6.5/10 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 | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
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%. 23.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.4 out of 10 among them, against 6.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Junior Book Club, Street Dance, and sports including netball, football, rugby tots, cricket, table tennis, mountain biking, tennis, and swimming. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 472 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 52. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the 52-pupil overage? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How do parents arrange care before and after school hours, given the absence of breakfast and after-school clubs?
