Lordswood School
About Lordswood School
Lordswood School sits in Medway, a local authority where the average proportion of primary pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 62 per cent. Lordswood’s figure of 68 per cent is six points above that LA average, placing it 20th out of 76 primary schools in the area. That puts it in the top third of Medway primaries, though it is not among the very highest performers — the top three schools in the LA all score 87 or above on the same metric. The school’s overall ranking nationally sits around the 36th percentile, meaning roughly two-thirds of primary schools across England achieve a higher proportion of pupils meeting the expected standard. Still, for a school with a 23 per cent free school meals rate — above the national average — these results represent solid, above-local performance.
