About Leigh Academy Tree Tops

Leigh Academy Tree Tops has turned a corner academically. The school was rated Requires Improvement in its 2017 Ofsted inspection, but its most recent graded inspection in 2019 saw it jump to Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in November 2024 confirmed it has improved significantly since then. The strongest signal of this progress is in the school's Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24. An impressive 84% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is well above the Kent local authority average of 63%. That figure places the school 3rd out of 44 primary schools in the Maidstone district, putting it in the top 10% locally and in the top 7% nationally. Leadership is now rated Outstanding, and early years provision is Good, suggesting the foundations are solid.
