About Aylesham Primary School

Aylesham Primary School sits within Kent’s large primary landscape, where the average Key Stage 2 score for the local authority sits at 63. The school’s own data on this metric is not provided, so a direct comparison against that LA average isn’t possible from the available information. What is clear, however, is that the school has maintained a consistent Ofsted rating of Good across its two most recent inspections, with the most recent graded inspection in 2017 and an ungraded visit in 2023 confirming it remains Good. That places it in the majority of Kent primaries, as only 54 out of 459 schools in the authority are rated Outstanding. The nearest Outstanding alternative is Adisham Church of England Primary School, just 1.7 km away, which may be worth a look for families who prioritise that top grade. Aylesham’s own Good rating, held since at least 2013, suggests steady leadership and management under headteacher Darran Callaghan.
