About More Park Catholic Primary School

More Park Catholic Primary School has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013 when it was judged to require improvement. The school’s leadership and management are also rated Good, and the inspection report confirms the school remains on a positive trajectory. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 87% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure places the school well above the Kent local authority average of 63%, and it ranks second out of 41 primary schools in the Tonbridge and Malling district. Nationally, More Park sits in the top 4% of all primary schools for this combined measure, which gives a clear sense of the academic strength on offer.
