About Ospringe Church of England Primary School

Ospringe Church of England Primary School’s headline KS2 metric sits slightly below the Kent local authority average, with 57% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, against the LA average of 63%. That six-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Swale, where it ranks 33rd out of 48, and in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is mixed when you dig into individual subjects: 73% hit the expected standard in writing and 70% in reading, but maths lags at 67%. At the higher standard, the school is notably weaker — just 7% achieved the higher benchmark in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 13% in maths alone and 33% in reading. For parents weighing up options, this suggests a school that gets most children to a solid level in literacy but struggles to push a significant proportion to the top tier, particularly in maths.
