About Regis Manor Primary School

Regis Manor Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 170 applications chasing just 77 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.21. Of those applicants, 75 put the school as their first preference, and all 75 received an offer. That level of demand suggests parents in the Swale area are actively seeking places here, though the school does not publish a ParentView recommendation percentage in the data we have. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and it currently holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its previous graded inspection in 2018. The most recent ungraded inspection in July 2023 confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. The school is larger than its official capacity, with 622 pupils against a published capacity of 570.

Academically, Regis Manor's Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 place it in the bottom 50 nationally, ranking 46th out of 48 schools in the Swale local authority. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 42%, well below the local authority average of 63%. Breaking that down, 56% met the expected standard in reading, 68% in writing, and 46% in maths. At the higher standard, just 5% achieved the combined measure, with 18% reaching higher in reading, 5% in writing, and 7% in maths. Average scores were 101 in reading and 99 in maths. The school has a relatively high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 29.8%, which may be a factor in these outcomes. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is difficult to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points.

The school offers a broad range of facilities including a forest school, music rooms, a library, playing fields, and a chapel, alongside clubs such as drama, gardening, chess and film club. Sports on offer include athletics, swimming, cricket, cross country, rounders, netball and gymnastics. For families with children who have special educational needs, the school lists provisions for nine categories including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language communication needs, and specific learning difficulties like dyslexia. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary school is Tunstall Church of England (Aided) Primary School, 3.3 km away. Regis Manor will suit families who prioritise a Good-rated school with strong community demand and a wide range of extracurricular activities, but who are comfortable with below-average academic outcomes at the end of primary.
