Which are the top-rated schools in Dartford?

Under our composite score, Leigh Academy Dartford is the highest-ranked primary school and Dartford Grammar School is the highest-ranked secondary school in Dartford. The score blends Ofsted inspection, attainment, progress and engagement into one A to F grade, weighted by data completeness. Independent and special schools are listed by Ofsted rating rather than scored.

Why are primary and secondary schools ranked separately?

Because they are measured on different things: primary schools on Key Stage 2 SATs, secondary schools on GCSE results and Progress 8. A grade A primary and a grade A secondary are not the same measurement, so we never rank them against each other. Each phase has its own full ranking for Dartford, linked from its section above.
