About Valley Invicta Primary School At Kings Hill

Valley Invicta Primary School At Kings Hill received its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, and the inspectors judged every single category as Outstanding — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That is a clean sweep of top grades. The previous inspection in 2018 had rated the school Good overall, so this represents a clear step up. On the most informative exam metric available, 78 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That is well above the Kent local authority average of 63 per cent and places the school 7th out of 41 primary schools in the Tonbridge and Malling district, comfortably inside the top 25 per cent nationally. The school also scores strongly on higher-level attainment: 16 per cent of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, while 41 per cent achieved higher in reading alone.
