School overview

Skinners' Kent Primary School is a primary school serving Tunbridge Wells, Kent, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. It has 210 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. 59% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 14.0 percentage points compared with the previous year.

Skinners' Kent Primary School is oversubscribed: about 7 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 40 first choices for 30 places. Overall pupil absence was 4.6%. There are about 19.8 pupils per teacher. Skinners' Kent Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
