About Wrotham Road Primary School

Wrotham Road Primary School sits within the Kent local authority, a large county with 459 primary schools, and is one of 25 primaries in the Gravesham district. In the most recent local rankings based on the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, the school placed 15th out of those 25, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate area. The top-performing peers in the same local authority include Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, Leigh Academy Dartford and Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School. For families prioritising an Outstanding Ofsted rating, the nearest such school is St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Northfleet, about two kilometres away. Wrotham Road itself was graded Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Requires Improvement across both overall effectiveness and leadership and management.
