The Judd School
Tonbridge, TN9 2PN · Kent · Grammar school
1st of 99 secondary schools in Kent we can score, 103 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 143 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.7/10 among them, against 9.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 98.4 · 99 | 46% | 4.56 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.85 · 95 | 38% | 3.65 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 78.4 · 99 | 15% | 1.52 |
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, 98.4% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 78.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.85 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.7 out of 10 among them, against 9.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and Combined Cadet Forces. Sports include rugby, cricket, and athletics. Trips cover Classics tours of Italy and Greece, European Music Tours, and rugby tours to South Africa and South America. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1541 pupils in a capacity of 1261, exceeding capacity by 280. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the 280-pupil overage? What specific support is offered to pupils aiming to improve their progress scores relative to the national median? How are the extensive international trips funded and accessed by all students?
