Check the area around this school
181st 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 — 6.3/10 against 3,685 of them, against 6.0/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Repton Manor Primary School
Overview
Pupils are “excited and inspired” by the wide-ranging opportunities at Repton Manor Primary School, where an “exceptionally well-developed programme of personal development” fosters independence and leadership. The school maintains high expectations for behaviour and learning, supported by “kind, well-trained staff” and a “calm, orderly and harmonious” environment.
Strengths
- Personal development is “Outstanding,” with pupils actively engaging in community projects, charity work, and democratic roles such as house captains.
- The curriculum is “ambitious” and carefully sequenced, helping pupils build knowledge and use subject-specific vocabulary effectively.
- Reading is highly valued, with a “sharp focus on the acquisition of phonics” and quick support for those falling behind.
- Staff expertise in mathematics has improved significantly following targeted training, ensuring effective adaptation for all pupils, including those with SEND.
- Relationships are “warm and good humoured,” with governors and staff feeling valued and supported.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, curriculum sequences are not yet fully revised to align with the school’s ambition; leaders must refine these to ensure clear links to substantive knowledge.
- There are “occasional inconsistencies in teaching,” as some teachers are not yet secure in evaluating pupil knowledge; the school should develop teacher expertise to ensure consistency across the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
