About Tenterden Infant School

Tenterden Infant School, a state primary in Ashford, Kent, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection took place in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in July 2024 confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. For a school catering to children aged 5 to 7, the most informative exam metric is the Key Stage 2 performance of its pupils when they leave. While the school itself does not publish a standalone Progress 8 or KS2 score in the data, the local authority average for KS2 attainment in Kent is 63, providing a benchmark for the area. With 130 pupils on roll against a capacity of 211, the school is significantly undersubscribed, yet it received 72 applications for 40 places in the 2025/26 admissions cycle, all 40 first-preference applicants were offered a place, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.8.
