About Valley Invicta Primary School At Aylesford

Valley Invicta Primary School at Aylesford is a state primary in Tonbridge and Malling that is currently running well above its official capacity, with 386 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 315.

The oversubscription ratio sits at 2. 25, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 23. 8%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school draws from a relatively diverse socioeconomic catchment.
