About Sandhurst Primary School

Sandhurst Primary School in Tunbridge Wells has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2016. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 70 per cent. That figure is comfortably above the Kent local authority average of 63 per cent for primary schools, placing Sandhurst 14th out of 31 schools in the Tunbridge Wells district. In the wider South East region, it ranks 551st out of 2,034 primary schools, and nationally it sits in the 30th percentile. The school’s ungraded inspection in November 2024 confirmed that standards have been maintained, and Ofsted rated leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all as Good.
