About Brunswick House Primary School

Brunswick House Primary School in Maidstone was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were also judged Good. When it comes to academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 58% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just below the Kent local authority average of 63%, placing the school 29th out of 44 primary schools in Maidstone and in the bottom half nationally. Still, individual subject results are stronger. In maths, 76% of pupils met the expected standard and 32% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 105. Reading and writing both saw 71% and 77% of pupils respectively hitting the expected mark, though only 5% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
