Mixed Primary Church of England
9.3/10 Well above average

14th 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 2,601 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.8/10 among them, against 9.3/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 81.0 · 89 62% 5.49
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 29.0 · 98 38% 3.76

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, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 29.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.8 out of 10 among them, against 9.3 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 212 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 2. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What does the daily timetable look like for a Year 6 pupil? How does the school support pupils who are working towards the expected standard?
