Wingham Primary School
Canterbury, CT3 1BD · Kent · primary school
173rd 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 — 8.9/10 against 3,804 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 | 12 | 35% | 0.43 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
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 16.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join coding and Forest School clubs, play football, rugby, cricket, and gymnastics, and participate in choir, dance, and brass instruments. The school offers a residential visit, a breakfast club, and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 204 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 6 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 6 places remaining? What specific support is available for the 16.0% of pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the brass instrument lessons structured for beginners?
