Check the area around this school
268th 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 2,918 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 among them, against 4.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Stocks Green Primary School
Overview
Stocks Green Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a "kind, caring school community" where pupils are happy and safe. The report highlights an "ambitious new vision" with high expectations, strong staff morale, and a curriculum that fosters enthusiasm for learning, particularly in reading and history.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy" and "safe," benefiting from "warm" relationships and a culture of "high expectations and respect."
- Reading provision is excellent; staff are "experts in early reading," and pupils are "avid readers" who engage deeply with texts.
- The history curriculum has been "expertly developed," building knowledge alongside key concepts, while the new behaviour policy has improved "politeness and consideration."
- Staff morale is "high" with a "sense of optimism," supported by revised routines and subject teams that consider workload.
- Governors hold the school "effectively to account," and parents describe it as a "genuinely wonderful school."
Areas to improve
- The school should "continue to fully evaluate the effectiveness" of recently revised curricula as they embed.
- The school must further develop its systematic process to ensure pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "achieve as well as they can," as current support is not always consistent.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
