Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
3.5/10 Below average

329th 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 — 2.4/10 against 2,458 of them, against 2.5/10 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.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Regis Manor Primary School overview

How it's doing

In 2024/25, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 2.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023.

What Ofsted said about Regis Manor Primary School

Inspection report dated 15 September 2023

Overview

Regis Manor Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils flourish in a diverse and inclusive environment. Leaders maintain high standards, creating a "palpable sense of care and pride" that is reflected in the well-maintained campus and positive pupil behaviour.

Strengths

  • Pupils are described as "happy, polite and friendly," with disruptive behaviour or bullying being "not commonplace."
  • The teaching of mathematics is "carefully designed and implemented consistently well," leading to improved knowledge and enjoyment.
  • Leaders prioritise reading, ensuring pupils get off to a "strong start" through effective phonics teaching and a new reading approach.
  • Staff benefit from a "strong culture of mutual support, collaboration and teamwork," with leaders being considerate of workload and well-being.
  • Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "skilfully supported," with many making "impressive leaps" from their starting points.

Areas to improve

  • The curriculum in some subjects is not sequenced as well as it could be, and end points are not clear enough, meaning pupils "do not learn as well as they could."
  • Some subject leaders are new to their roles and lack clear oversight, requiring further training to lead and monitor their areas effectively.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "culture of vigilance and care" and robust systems in place to keep pupils safe.
