Top school 2024/25
Expected standard, RWM: P95.7 of South East primaries (2024/25) · Higher standard, RWM: P84.7 (2024/25) · Ofsted report card 2026: nothing below Expected, safeguarding met.
Top 10% of South East primaries on Expected standard, RWM and top 25% on Higher standard, RWM (2024/25, cohort 30+), and Ofsted Good or better or a report card with nothing below Expected. Separate from the map plaque, which only tiers the school's South East rank by England results (Top 1/3/5/10/25%).
Against South East and Kent
Track: South East's middle 80% (10th to 90th percentile); L = South East median; K = Kent median, shown when 10 or more of its schools have a figure; the dot is this school.
South East state schools in Close Knit with a published figure, same phase (primary or secondary) and year; the borough median only when 10 or more of its schools have one. 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles with linear interpolation (PostgreSQL percentile_cont).
Colour only where lower or higher is clearly better (absence: lower): blue = better than the South East median, red = in South East's worst 10%.
Money: Compared only with maintained schools' accounts (CFR), same financial year.
Results
England rank: Key stage 2: % of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths; ties broken by % at the higher standard. Ranked among 15,057 primaries in England, 2024/25. England's state-funded mainstream schools with a published figure that year (suppressed or missing figures are left out); equal figures share a rank; top % = rank ÷ schools × 100, rounded up.
Top % in England by year: the first and best years are labelled; the dashed line is the middle (top 50%).
Against South East: South East state primaries, same year, cohort 30+, suppressed figures left out. Steps: the score out of 10 against South East (10 = top 10%).
Arrows: change in South East percentile points since 2018/19.
Pupils counted: 64 pupils (2024/25), every measure.

Getting in
Got in = first-choice families offered a place on national offer day ÷ families who put the school first. Putting a school first gives no priority: siblings and distance decide.
First-choice applications not offered a place on national offer day: 100 × (1 − first-preference offers ÷ first preferences). Applications count preferences, not children; places can still be offered from waiting lists after offer day.
Source: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers.
Last distance offered: the straight line from the school to the furthest child offered a place under the distance rule. Not a catchment: it changes every year.
Inspections
OutstandingReport card
Dates are the day each inspection started: Apr 2026 Report card, lowest Strong · May 2022 Outstanding · Jun 2008 Outstanding. Each dot opens its Ofsted report. Report cards and 2024–25 inspections have no overall grade: the badge takes the lowest area's colour.
Report-card areas graded Exceptional or Strong standard, and Needs attention or Urgent improvement, out of the areas graded; Expected standard counts as neither. Counted from Ofsted's grades, never scored from the report text.
Source: Ofsted, state-funded schools inspections and outcomes.
Pupils
Full = pupils on roll ÷ the school's capacity (436 places), from Get Information about Schools.
Pupil profile and absence: DfE school census and pupil absence (Compare school and college performance). Free school meals = eligible at any time in the past 6 years; persistently absent = missed 10% or more of sessions. Withheld = suppressed by DfE.
Workforce
School workforce census, 2025/26. Staff in FTE (full-time equivalent), rounded to 1 decimal on the card. As published: teachers 20.09, leadership 3.9, teaching assistants 19.25, support staff incl. TAs 25.64, whole workforce 45.73 (68 people), 26 teachers by headcount.
Other support = support staff incl. TAs minus teaching assistants.
Per adult counts teachers, TAs and other classroom support; excludes admin staff.
- DfE: FTE pupils (January census) ÷ FTE teachers (November census)
- DfE: FTE pupils ÷ FTE teachers, teaching assistants, other school support staff and technicians; administrative, auxiliary and business staff are not counted
- Teachers in leadership posts: head, deputy and assistant heads
Financials
Maintained school accounts (CFR) · April 2025 to March 2026.
Published total ÷ FTE pupils in the same return, to the nearest pound; income and spend per pupil are left out when the return covers less than 12 months.
CFR (maintained schools, April–March) and AAR (academies, September–August) are different accounts and years: do not compare a maintained school with an academy.
