Kingston Primary School
Thundersley, SS7 3HG · Essex · primary school
1st of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.8/10 against 3,799 of them, against 9.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 90.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.90 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 37.0 · 100 | 25% | 2.49 |
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, 90.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 37.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.8 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the 11+ Club, drumming and piano lessons, and a choir. They attend the Young Voices concert. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 211 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single place over capacity during admissions? What specific support does the 11+ Club offer for exam preparation? How are the drumming and piano lessons scheduled to avoid conflicts with other activities?
