Maidstone, St Michael's Church of England Junior School
Maidstone, ME16 8ER · Kent · primary school
192nd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.9/10 against 2,489 of them, against 5.8/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Rainbow Club. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 180 pupils in a capacity of 178, meaning it is over capacity by 2. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children arriving at a school that is already over its stated capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects? How does the Rainbow Club structure its sessions to ensure all 180 pupils have access?
