Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
2.8/10 Below average

375th 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 — 2.1/10 against 885 of them, against 1.6/10 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, 39.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.6 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Computer, Magic, Board Games, Drawing, Games, Just Dance, Reading, and Painting Clubs. Sports options include Hockey, Cheerleading, Football, Yoga, and Gymnastics. Arts and music activities feature Crazy Crafts, Bollywood, and Karaoke Clubs. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 179 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 31 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 below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific strategies are used to help the 3.0% who reached the higher standard continue their progress? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
