About Kingswood Primary School

Kingswood Primary School is a small, popular state primary in Maidstone, and the numbers suggest parents are keen to get their children in. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed with a ratio of two applications for every place, and all five first-preference families were offered a spot. That kind of demand often reflects word-of-mouth satisfaction, and while the school doesn't publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the oversubscription alone signals strong local confidence. With just 130 pupils on a 140-capacity site, classes are small, which tends to mean more individual attention and a tighter-knit feel. The headteacher, Lynsey Sanchez Daviu, leads a mixed, non-religious primary for ages 4 to 11, and the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. The previous graded inspection in 2013 also gave a Good rating, so the school has held a consistent standard over time.
