Shorne Church of England Primary School
Gravesend, DA12 3DU · Kent · primary school
143rd 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 3,414 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.6/10 among them, against 7.0/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.6 out of 10 among them, against 7.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join board games, arts & crafts, Kids-Play, and Glow sports clubs, alongside dodgeball, Nerf wars, archery, and football. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 206 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 4 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a spot is likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the Glow sports sessions? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the limited number of available places?
