Kingswood Primary School
Maidstone, ME17 3QF · Kent · primary school
231st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.5/10 against 3,998 of them, against 4.9/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. There are 118 pupils in a school with 140 places, leaving 22 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the national median in core subjects? What does the daily timetable look like for a child in a class smaller than the building’s capacity? When is the next Ofsted inspection scheduled?
