Folkestone, St Peter's Church of England Primary School

Folkestone, CT19 6AL · Kent · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.0/10 Broadly average

233rd 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 — 6.6/10 against 1,030 of them, against 4.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 98 pupils in a school with 105 places, leaving 7 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the national median in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the current pupil numbers?
