Tunbridge Wells, TN4 8RZ · Kent · primary school

Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
2.4/10 Below average

389th 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 — 4.6/10 against 1,514 of them, against 3.6/10 nationally. 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.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.6 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join GLOW Dance, Fun Fitness, Games Club, and Art Club, or play netball and indoor athletics. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 111 pupils in a building with 150 places, leaving 39 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not reached the higher standard? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? Since there is no breakfast club, what options exist for early morning care?
