Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.5/10 Broadly average

329th 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 4,288 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.3/10 among them, against 2.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 59.0 · 37 40% 1.48

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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.3 out of 10 among them, against 2.7 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Eco Club and participate in choir, flute, recorder, piano, and guitar lessons. They attend the Young Voices and Gravesend Recorder Festival. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 123 pupils in a capacity of 120 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity when allocating new places?
