About Brompton-Westbrook Primary School

Brompton-Westbrook Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2024, a grade it has maintained consistently since its previous graded inspection. The school’s strongest academic indicator is its Key Stage 2 performance: 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which places it comfortably above the Medway local authority average of 62%. This result ranks the school 20th out of 55 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 40% locally. Within the South East region, it sits in the top third of schools nationally. The school’s Early Years provision was singled out as Outstanding in the 2024 inspection, while leadership and management were judged Good. With 478 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is clearly popular and oversubscribed.

Looking closer at the individual subject scores, reading stands out as a particular strength. 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, with 35% achieving the higher standard, and the average scaled score was 106. In maths, 82% met the expected standard and 25% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 105. Writing saw 75% at expected and 13% at the higher level. These figures suggest solid, consistent teaching across the core subjects, though the combined expected standard figure of 68% indicates that around a third of pupils are not yet meeting the threshold across all three subjects simultaneously. The school’s ranking score of 68 places it 18th in Medway, just behind the top-performing local schools like The Pilgrim School and Swingate Primary, which both scored 87.

The school offers a broad range of facilities including an ICT suite, library, gymnasium, forest school and a chapel, alongside sports such as football, cricket, swimming and tennis. Clubs include eco club, chess, coding, film club, art club and gardening. For families with children who have additional needs, the school provides for a wide spectrum of SEND provisions, including moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing and visual impairments, multi-sensory impairment, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. Admission data for 2025/26 shows 174 applications for 60 places, with 79 first-preference applications and 60 first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.9. This is a school that suits families who value strong core academic outcomes, a wide range of enrichment activities, and a clear commitment to inclusive provision.
