About Valley Invicta Primary School at Holborough Lakes

Valley Invicta Primary School at Holborough Lakes sits well above the Kent local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. Across the LA, 63% of pupils reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, but this school achieves 84% — a gap of 21 percentage points. That puts it 4th out of 41 primary schools in Tonbridge and Malling, comfortably inside the top 10% nationally. The school also outperforms on higher-level attainment: 16% of pupils hit the higher standard in all three subjects, while 39% do so in maths alone. Reading and writing scores are similarly strong, with 87% of children reaching the expected level in each. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in June 2025, awarded Outstanding across every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That marks a clear step up from its previous Good rating in 2018.
