About Edenbridge Primary School

Edenbridge Primary School’s key stage 2 results sit just below the Kent local authority average, with 62% of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths against an LA average of 63%. That one-point gap places the school 233rd out of 459 primary schools in Kent and 26th out of 38 in Sevenoaks, putting it in the bottom half locally. Reading is the strongest subject: 71% of pupils reached the expected standard with an average scaled score of 104, and 29% hit the higher standard. Maths is weaker, with 66% at the expected level and an average score of 102. Writing sees 76% at the expected standard and 17% at the higher level. Only 7% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. Given that 39.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, these results suggest the school is broadly in line with the LA average, though it isn’t pushing a large proportion of pupils into the top performance brackets.

Ofsted visited in October 2022 and awarded a Good rating across all categories, a significant improvement from the previous inspection in 2017 when the school was judged Inadequate overall. Leadership and management, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision all received Good grades. Parent feedback collected between September 2024 and September 2025 is overwhelmingly positive: 98% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 93% felt their child does well. 91% of parents would recommend the school to others. The school’s Progress 8 data isn’t available, but the Ofsted report and parent views paint a picture of a school that has turned itself around and is now delivering a consistently good standard of education in a supportive environment.

The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 75 applications for 61 places and 57 first-preference offers, so it’s a popular choice locally. Facilities include a library, gymnasium, art studios, playing fields, a sensory room, forest school and a chapel. Sports provision covers rounders, football, netball, cricket, cross country and swimming, while clubs range from choir and science club to eco club and chess. The school has a nursery provision for children from age 3 and offers support for a wide range of special educational needs, including dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, speech and language difficulties, and social, emotional and mental health needs. This breadth of SEND provision, combined with the strong parent satisfaction and the school’s clear improvement trajectory, makes Edenbridge Primary a good fit for families who want an inclusive primary school that has worked hard to earn its Good rating.
