Ashford, TN25 6JY · Kent · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
2.7/10 Below average

376th 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 the 3,897 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7/10 among them, against 1.4/10 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 48.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7 out of 10 among them, against 1.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join The Swan Club, and the school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 198 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 12 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating while addressing the gap between its results and the national median?
