Kent has 10% of all schools in the bottom 200 in the country in last summer's SATS; Kent has a large School Improvement Team of well paid advisers that  do not appear to have delivered; the 20 OFSTEDs that have failed primary schools in the past two years often show the problem has been present for a while but not picked up by KCC in spite of the Team; others identify failures in leadership or high staff turnover; this is not a grammar school issue - those 20 bottom schools have an average of just two grammar school passes per head, so grammar school issues have not really affected them; its not an issue of socially deprived areas, bottom schools are across the county; Maidstone appears a particular black spot - out of 14 primary school o?OFSTED inspections, 4 schools failed, 9 were satisfactory, with just one good and none outstanding. The Downsview Primary OFSTED is especially revealing.
