Sevenoaks Primary School
About Sevenoaks Primary School
Sevenoaks Primary School sits comfortably above the Kent local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 75% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 63% across the county. That twelve-point gap is a meaningful indicator of the school’s consistent academic performance, and it places the school in the top quarter of primary schools nationally. Within the Sevenoaks district, it ranks 11th out of 38 primary schools, putting it in the top 30% locally. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 confirmed a Good rating overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. This represents a change from its previous inspection in 2010, when it was rated Outstanding across the board. The 2023 inspection was ungraded, meaning the school remains Good rather than having been regraded, but the shift from Outstanding to Good is worth noting for parents who prioritise top-tier inspection grades.
