About Biggin CofE Primary School

Biggin CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school's most recent graded inspection took place in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that it remains Good. This consistency is notable given the school's very small size, with just 18 pupils on roll against a capacity of 60. The most informative exam metric available is the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which stands at 59. While Biggin's own KS2 results are not published in this data, the school's Good rating and its position within a local authority where only 9 out of 353 primary schools are rated Outstanding suggest it is a solid, reliable choice for families seeking a steady academic foundation in a Church of England setting.
