About Cage Green Primary School

Cage Green Primary School in Tonbridge and Malling sends a clear signal to parents about its popularity: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 62 applications for just 19 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.26. Of those, 14 families put it down as their first preference, and all 14 were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests a school that local families are actively choosing, even though the school itself doesn't publish a parent-view survey result. The school's headteacher, Joanna Styles, leads a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 218 pupils against a capacity of 421, so there is room to grow. With 50% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage, yet it still draws strong interest from families.
