About Dunton Green Primary School

Dunton Green Primary School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors singling out leadership and management as Outstanding. That judgement matters because it reflects a school that has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, though the previous one in 2018 had early years provision and leadership both graded as Requires Improvement. The most telling exam metric for this small Sevenoaks primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: just 33 per cent. That is well below the Kent local authority average of 63 per cent, and it places the school 36th out of 38 primary schools in the Sevenoaks district. Nationally, Dunton Green sits in the bottom five per cent of all primary schools on this measure. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects, with reading faring better than maths or writing.
