Headteacher: Mr Alex Cornelius
Age range: 4-11 years
Demand for places (Reception, September 2026): 55 families put it first for 60 places – 9 for every 10 places. 98% of them were offered a place. 5 of the 60 places went to families living outside the council area. Children putting it first, for every 10 places: 2023 10 · 2024 13 · 2025 12 · 2026 9
Sixth form: No

Nursery provision: No

Who goes here

422 pupils out of 420 places At or near capacity

Pupils eligible for free school meals: 24
% eligible for free school meals: 5.7%
Pupil mix: 3 in 10 (less mixed than the Tunbridge Wells average)
English as an additional language: 4% (England 22%)

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

Teacher turnover: 19.3% a year (Tunbridge Wells 15.3%, typical in England 13.9%)
Where they went: about 36% moved to another school, 64% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house.

Supply and cover teaching

Classes taught mainly by supply or cover staff for half a term or more: <5 (a full term or more: <5)
Teaching posts vacant or only temporarily filled during the year: <5
Days of supply or agency teacher cover: <5
Data year: 2025/26 (from the school, under Freedom of Information)

Government figures only count teachers on contracts of 28 days or more, so a class covered by a run of supply teachers doesn't show up in them – which is why we ask schools directly.

Behaviour

Data received 2025/26

About this Behaviour status

Real figures are in below, but not enough other schools of this type have reported yet to rank this one against peers.

Reading the numbers: higher figures below often mean a school records thoroughly and takes concerns seriously, rather than more incidents happening. A school reporting unusually low figures sometimes has a reporting gap rather than a problem-free intake. If a figure stands out, it's worth asking the school how it records.

Data year: 2025/26
Bullying incidents: <5
Physical aggression / violence incidents: <5
Child protection referrals: Withheld
Safeguarding concerns: 95
Racist incidents: <5
Suspensions (fixed-term exclusions): <5
Permanent exclusions: <5
Sexual harassment or sexual violence between pupils (recorded incidents): <5 (led to a suspension or exclusion: <5; referred to social care or police: <5) – a higher number can mean a school takes reports seriously and records them carefully

See the bullying figures for every school in Tunbridge Wells →

Figures may show "<5" for some schools.

What does "<5" mean?

A figure shown as "<5" means the real number is below 5 - the standard convention for this kind of data, used to avoid identifying individual pupils. Different schools may also record and define incidents differently, so read comparisons with care.

Across Kent: suspensions by reason

Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 21 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 1
Suspensions for bullying: 32 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 1 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Kent (the council area this school is in), not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

Attendance

Overall absence: 4.3%
Persistently absent pupils: 6.2%
Data year: 2024/25

About persistent absence

A pupil is counted as "persistently absent" if they miss 10% or more of their possible school sessions - roughly one day in every two weeks. Schools and Ofsted both pay close attention to this figure specifically, since it can highlight a pattern the overall absence rate alone might hide.

SEN

No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision

SEN Unit and Resourced Provision

Most mainstream schools don't have a dedicated SEN Unit or Resourced Provision - it isn't a mark against a school that doesn't, just a different kind of setup than one that does.

Pupils on SEN Support: 6.2%
Pupils with an EHC Plan: 1.4%
Data year: 2025/26

Most common needs - SEN Support

Speech, language and communications needs: 13 pupils
Specific learning difficulty: 5 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 5 pupils
Autistic spectrum disorder: 2 pupils
Moderate learning difficulty: 1 pupil

Most common needs - EHC Plan

About this Ofsted rating

Ofsted changed how it rates schools in the last couple of years, so ratings from different years aren't always on the same scale - that's why we show the year alongside every rating.

Year 6 SATs ranking

Junior and primary schools in this area, ranked by the % of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (official DfE results, 2024/25). Schools with the same result share a place (shown as =). In small schools one or two children can move a school several places, so treat close positions as roughly equal.
