Mixed Primary
5.5/10 Broadly average

200th 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 — 6.7/10 against 2,121 of them, against 5.5/10 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 67.0 · 57 62% 3.50
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 7.0 · 51 38% 1.96

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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.5 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend Forest School and visit Creed Outdoor Centre. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 491 pupils in a building with 480 places, meaning it is over capacity by 11. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 11-pupil overage in daily operations? What specific support is available for the 7.0% who reach the higher standard? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the Forest School curriculum?
