Yesterday we received our Key Stage 2 results for 2025 across fifteen primary academies. 81% of our pupils achieved the combined expected standard compared to the national average of 62%. All academies achieved in line with or above the national average. This is an incredible achievement. A full summary can be found below.

The top five highest performing academies in relation to the combined national standard for Key Stage 2 were as follows:
- Leigh Academy Dartford – 94%
- Leigh Academy Hartley – 90%
- Leigh Academy Oaks – 89%
- Leigh Stationers’ Primary Academy – 87%
- Leigh Academy Paddock Wood – 86%
At Leigh Academy Molehill, an incredible 87% of pupils achieved the higher standard in Reading and 77% did so in Maths. At Leigh Academy Dartford 100% of its 90 pupils in year 6 achieved the expected standard in Reading. Both academies have enjoyed considerable success this year having also been judged outstanding in all areas by Ofsted.
In other areas 81% of our pupils achieved a Good Level of Development in the Early Years compared to 68% of all children nationally. 83% of pupils passed the phonics screening test by the end of year 1 and 92% did so by the end of year 2, both above national averages.
It is clear that pupils continue to get off to a flying start in LAT primary academies and their results are testament to the exceptional work of our dedicated staff. It is no surprise that 75% of our primary academies are now judged outstanding by Ofsted, far in excess of the proportion of primaries nationally which have achieved this accolade.
