Shoreham Village School
About Shoreham Village School
Shoreham Village School is a small state primary in Kent, serving 105 pupils aged 4 to 11 in the Sevenoaks area. Among the 459 primary schools across the local authority, it sits in a competitive landscape where only 54 hold an Outstanding rating. The top-performing peers in Kent include Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, Leigh Academy Dartford, and Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School, all of which rank higher on the local league table. Shoreham itself has not reached that top tier, but its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in March 2015 rated the school Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management, and Good for early years provision. An ungraded inspection in March 2019 confirmed the school remains Good, meaning it has held a solid standard for several years. This is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in September 2013, when the school was judged Inadequate overall, with both leadership and management also rated Inadequate. The turnaround since then reflects consistent progress under headteacher Gillian Lovatt-Young.
