South Borough Primary School
Maidstone, ME15 6TL · Kent · primary school
87th 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 — 9.1/10 against 2,617 of them, against 8.3/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 15.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. A breakfast club is available for pupils.
Getting in. The school has 447 pupils in a capacity of 480 places, leaving 33 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? What are the plans for the 2023 inspection follow-up? How do parents access the breakfast club before the school day begins?
