About Wrotham School

Wrotham School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. In its most recent ungraded inspection in November 2024, inspectors confirmed that standards were being upheld, and they awarded the school’s leadership and management an Outstanding rating. The most informative exam metric for this mixed 11-18 state secondary is its Progress 8 score, which sits at -0. 04. That figure is very close to the national average of zero, meaning pupils at Wrotham achieve broadly the results you would expect given their starting points. It also compares favourably against the Kent local authority average Progress 8 score of -0. 13, placing the school in the top half of all secondary schools in the county. In the Tonbridge and Malling district specifically, Wrotham ranks 6th out of 10 schools by this measure, and nationally it sits around the 52nd percentile.
