St Augustine's Catholic Primary School
About St Augustine's Catholic Primary School
St Augustine's Catholic Primary School in Tunbridge Wells posts a Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 66%, which sits just above the Kent local authority average of 63% for primary schools. That three-point gap is modest but consistent — the school is performing slightly better than the typical state primary in the area, though it's not among the top performers. In the Tunbridge Wells district specifically, it ranks 21st out of 31 primary schools, placing it in the lower half locally. Nationally, it sits around the 42nd percentile, meaning roughly 58% of primary schools across England achieve a higher combined expected standard. The school's Progress 8 scores are not available, so we can't measure how much value it adds relative to pupils' starting points, but the raw attainment figures suggest a solid, if unspectacular, academic offering compared with its immediate neighbours.
