About Kings Hill School Primary and Nursery

Kings Hill School Primary and Nursery has been rated Outstanding in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2013. The inspection, carried out in February 2024, awarded top marks across every category, including Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, and Early Years Provision. This places the school among a select group: of the 459 primary schools in Kent, only 54 hold an Outstanding rating. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 70% of pupils met the benchmark. That figure sits comfortably above the Kent local authority average of 63%, confirming that the school is delivering above-par results for its area. The school ranks 13th out of 41 primary schools in the Tonbridge and Malling borough, placing it in the top third locally.
