Stocks Green Primary School

About Stocks Green Primary School

Stocks Green Primary School sits comfortably above the Kent local authority average for Key Stage 2, with 70% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the LA average of 63%. That seven-point gap is a meaningful one, placing the school in the top half of primary schools in Tonbridge and Malling, where it ranks 14th out of 41. The school’s overall ranking score of 70 puts it in the top 50% nationally, and within the South East region it sits in the 30th percentile. While not among the very highest-performing primaries in the area, these figures suggest a solidly above-average school that is delivering results ahead of most of its local peers. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2024, confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014.

Digging into the detail of the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the school’s strengths are spread across the three core subjects. In reading, 83% of pupils met the expected standard and 33% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 107. Writing saw 87% at expected and 23% at the higher level. Maths was slightly lower: 80% at expected, 33% at higher, and an average score of 106. The proportion achieving the higher standard across all three subjects — reading, writing and maths — was 20%, which is a respectable figure for a primary of this size. The school has no Progress 8 data available, but the raw attainment figures are clear enough. Compared with the LA average of 63% for the combined expected standard, Stocks Green is performing well, and its ranking within Tonbridge and Malling (14th out of 41) reinforces that it is a strong choice for families prioritising academic outcomes.

With 213 pupils on roll against a capacity of 218, the school is nearly full, and it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake: 87 applications for 30 places, with 34 first-preference applications and 29 first-preference offers. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.9, so it is a popular school and parents should be prepared to apply early. The school offers a broad range of facilities including a sports hall, playing fields, a sensory room, music rooms and a chapel. Sports include football, netball, cricket, tennis and gymnastics, while clubs cover coding, drama, gardening and chess. SEND provision is in place for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech, language and communication needs, and social, emotional and mental health support. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is low at 6.6%, which is well below the national average. This is a school that suits families who want strong but not exceptional results, a full range of activities, and a calm, well-resourced environment in the Tonbridge and Malling area.
