About Claremont Primary School

Claremont Primary School’s headline metrics place it well above the Kent local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (RWM) combined sits at 63%, Claremont achieves 80% — a significant 17 percentage point gap. This positions the school in the top 25% nationally for this measure, and within Tunbridge Wells it ranks 5th out of 31 primary schools, putting it in the top 16% of its immediate area. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, awarded in a January 2023 inspection, but the breakdown shows two Outstanding grades: for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes. That’s a notable contrast with its previous inspection in 2009, which was Outstanding overall; the current rating reflects a slight dip in quality of education and leadership, both now rated Good, while early years provision has moved from Outstanding to Good.
