About Kinderley Primary School

Kinderley Primary School is a primary school in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 82 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 27% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 16.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Kinderley Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 12 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 7.6%. There are about 13.3 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 56% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
