About Coxheath Primary School

Coxheath Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 75 first-preference applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.5. This level of demand suggests strong parent confidence, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 backs that up with a Good rating overall. Inspectors were particularly impressed by behaviour and attitudes, as well as personal development, both of which were judged Outstanding. The early years provision and leadership and management were also rated Good. The school is larger than its stated capacity of 420, currently teaching 459 pupils, which may reflect its appeal. Headteacher Giacomo Mazza leads a mixed, non-denominational primary for children aged 4 to 11 in Maidstone, Kent. Around 21.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure slightly above the national average for primary schools.
