Cheriton Primary School
Folkestone, CT20 3EP · Kent · primary school
128th of 425 primary schools in Kent we can score, 460 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.8/10 against 2,352 of them, against 6.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 68.0 · 60 | 62% | 3.70 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Eco Car, Charivari, Board Games, and Yoga Clubs, alongside Cricket, Football, Athletics, and Kwik Cricket Clubs. Arts options include the Summer Choir, Choir Clubs, and Art Club. A residential trip to Gilwell is offered. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 391 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 29 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How is the Eco Car Club structured for different year groups?
