About St Georges CofE (Aided) Primary School

St George's CofE (Aided) Primary School in Swale holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more nuanced story. The school earned Outstanding grades for both behaviour and attitudes and leadership and management, with inspectors noting a Good rating across quality of education, personal development, and early years provision. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the data is mixed. Just 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined — well below the Kent local authority average of 63%. The school ranks 42nd out of 48 primary schools in Swale on this measure, placing it in the bottom half nationally. Only 5% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, though individual subject scores tell a slightly brighter story: reading and writing both saw higher proportions meeting expectations than maths, with 67% and 70% respectively.
