Hartlip Endowed Church of England Primary School
Sittingbourne, ME9 7TL · Kent · primary school
289th 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 the 3,951 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 3.4/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6 out of 10 among them, against 3.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Singing Squad, School Band, School Choir, Tuck Shop, and Worship Leaders, play Huff Puff, and attend Forest School trips. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 104 pupils in a capacity of 105, leaving just 1 spare place. With only one vacancy, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.
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 Forest School trips? How does the school manage the high demand for its single remaining place?
