Kentisbury Primary School
About Kentisbury Primary School
Kentisbury Primary School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous overall rating of Requires Improvement. The school has held a Good rating across both leadership and management and early years provision since that 2016 graded inspection, and an ungraded visit in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. With just 44 pupils on roll against a capacity of 42, this is a genuinely small school where every child is known. The most telling academic metric for a primary of this size is the local authority Key Stage 2 average of 57, against which Kentisbury’s own results would be measured, though the school’s individual KS2 data is not published here. What is clear is that the school has turned a corner: the previous inspection found leadership and management requiring improvement, but the most recent graded inspection judged both leadership and early years provision as Good.
