Kempsey Primary School
About Kempsey Primary School
Kempsey Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Worcestershire local authority average, with 54% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 61% across the LA. That gap is worth noting, but the school’s individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story. Reading stands out as a relative strength: 72% of pupils met the expected standard and 30% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 105. Maths is a bit further back, with 64% at expected and 16% at the higher level, and an average score of 103. Writing sits at 72% expected but only 8% at the higher mark. The school’s ranking within Malvern Hills places it 27th out of 34 primary schools, and nationally it falls in the bottom half, around the 70th percentile. So while Kempsey isn’t among the top performers locally, it’s not an outlier either — it’s a solid, mid-range primary with a particular edge in reading.
