Weald of Kent Grammar School
Tonbridge, TN9 2JP · Kent · Grammar school
5th 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 173 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.2/10 among them, against 9.5/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 94.5 · 97 | 46% | 4.48 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.77 · 93 | 38% | 3.58 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 70.0 · 97 | 15% | 1.49 |
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, 94.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 70.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.77 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.2 out of 10 among them, against 9.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Junior and Senior Choirs, Orchestra, Flute Choir, and Drama clubs, participate in Duke of Edinburgh, and perform in the Weald Variety Show and Christmas concerts. Trips include skiing, a visit to the Young V&A, an MFL day at the Stag Theatre, a Geography excursion to Iceland, and a Spanish and Computer Science trip to Valencia.
Getting in. The school has 1902 pupils in a capacity of 2475, leaving 573 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the lower-performing similar-intake group? What specific support is available for students who do not attend the optional trips? How do class sizes impact individual attention in core subjects?
