Mereworth Community Primary School
Maidstone, ME18 5ND · Kent · primary school
65th 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 — 9.3/10 against 4,352 of them, against 9.1/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
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%. 23.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. 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 (9.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a KS2 Choir, participate in Mini Wimbledon and Bikeability, and attend residential visits. They visit London museums, the Aquariums and wildlife centres, Herstmonceux Science Centre, and historic sites. They also attend the Young Voices concert at the O2 Arena and the Hillfest Music Festival in Tonbridge. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 209 pupils in a capacity of 218, leaving 9 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils given the recent inspection date? What specific support is available for the 23.0% who reached the higher standard? How are the 9 remaining places allocated if demand exceeds capacity?
