Primary School League table!
League tables or primary schools! Whatever next. I'm not sure what much of this means other than they appear to show that most of the Tonbridge schools performed slightly better than the average for the rest of Kent or is it national schools. Anyway, for what it's worth you can see the rest of the table HERE

It took time but it least it came. My 1st ever blog on this site was at March 15th 2011. @ 1.47pm (Oh my God Please No) Explaining That S.M.C was one of the best schools in tonbridge if not the best.( This Blog("Primary School League Table")Prove's that this is the case. I felt that the blog( "Oh God Please No" )was beginning to be part of a smear campaign against S.MC. Regardless of what this particular blog was about , It has never been about S.MC, even though it got personal at times about individuals who worked at this school . Hats of to those involved that didn't react to this. Just shows how professional you are all. I rest my case ,see for yourself's at this league table. Once again I'm not a teacher or part of the PTA I'm simply a proud parent of S.MC Well done SMC You deserve it.
With such different catchment areas in Tonbridge like many other towns the tables dont mean a lot. The only judge can be the value added score and if you allow for statistical error most of tonbridge schools are neutral in this respect, what goes in is what comes out.
I could not agree more with the last comment (july 17th 11.21)
Both Judd and Togs select from the selected. So with that intake, even if they did not improve pupils one iota, both schools will always come top of any league. Yet other schools in the area (with a different intake), who may well make huge improvements with their pupils, are placed lower down the table. I think we need to educate dim parents a little more, so that they can see beyond gossip, and beneath the surface of statistics.
Could't agree more with what Hallum says, in that parents need to go around and visit schools and get a feel for them, just basing their school of choice on statistics or where they finish in the schools table.
