Leybourne, St Peter and St Paul Church of England Primary Academy
West Malling, ME19 5HD · Kent · primary school
213rd 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 — 7.4/10 against 4,151 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 9 | 35% | 0.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. 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 (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 211 pupils in a school with 216 places, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 5 places remaining, how does the school handle waitlists for new starters? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum? What specific support is available for the 9.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard?
