Check the area around this school
393rd 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 — 3.6/10 against 290 of them, against 2.2/10 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 | 51.0 · 21 | 62% | 1.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
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 Rose Street Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this “highly inclusive school” where staff have created a “nurturing environment” that ensures children feel “safe and well cared for.” The report highlights that pupils’ achievement is improving due to a well-sequenced curriculum and strong support for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Personal development is described as “exceptional,” with a deep sense of belonging fostered through extensive nurture provision and strong pastoral care.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well sequenced from the early years to Year 6,” helping pupils build knowledge gradually.
- Staff make “precise adaptations to their teaching” for pupils with SEND, enabling them to access the curriculum successfully.
- Reading is “prioritised highly,” with staff adept at providing support to help pupils become “fluent and confident readers.”
- Personal development is “exceptional,” supported by “extremely strong welfare and pastoral support” and a focus on kindness and respect.
- Leaders are “highly ambitious” and consider staff workload and well-being effectively.
Areas to improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, staff do not routinely check what pupils have remembered, meaning misconceptions are not identified and pupils do not achieve as well as they could.
- The teaching of writing is not fully embedded; gaps in letter formation and spelling are not always addressed quickly enough, resulting in not enough pupils writing at an age-appropriate level.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
