Leigh Academy High Halstow
Rochester, ME3 8TF · Medway · primary school
1st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.0/10 against 4,272 of them, against 9.0/10 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 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
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, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 19.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in September 2023. 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 (9.0 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Irish dancing, Creative Literacy, Nature Squad, IRock, and Year 6 Maths Club, alongside football and multi-sports. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 212 pupils in a capacity of 236, leaving 24 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Nature Squad club? How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils leaving the school?
