Slade Primary School and Attached Unit for Children with Hearing Impairment
Tonbridge, TN9 1HR · Kent · primary school
206th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.5/10 against 4,127 of them, against 5.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a cricket club and play football, netball, hockey, handball, dodgeball, golf, and athletics. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. With 419 pupils in a school with 420 places, there is 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the attached unit for children with hearing impairment integrate with the main school day? What specific support is available for the 10.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 1 place remaining?
