About Wainscott Primary School

Wainscott Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Medway local authority average, which is a key point for parents weighing up options. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 47% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 62% for primary schools. That 15-point gap places the school 50th out of 55 primaries in Medway, firmly in the bottom half of the league table. Broken down by subject, the picture is mixed: 66% met the expected standard in writing (a solid showing), while reading and maths came in at 61% and 58% respectively. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in any of the three subjects was low — 22% in reading, 19% in maths, and none in writing or the combined measure. So while the school is not among the highest performers academically, the data gives a clear, if sobering, baseline for families to consider.
