Our Lady's Catholic Primary School, Dartford
Dartford, DA1 2HX · Kent · primary school
11th 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 — 9.4/10 against 3,748 of them, against 9.4/10 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 | 85.0 · 94 | 62% | 5.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 24.0 · 95 | 38% | 3.67 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 85.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 24.0% achieved the higher standard. 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 (9.4 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Painting, Keep Fit, Ted Talk, Cooking, Enterprise, Design, and Mindfulness clubs, or learn swimming. The school also organises a residential trip to Grosvenor Hall. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 219 pupils in a building with 218 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. Since the school is over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications? With no breakfast club, what options exist for early morning care? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects?
