Hawkinge Primary School
Folkestone, CT18 7BN · Kent · primary school
41st 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 — 8.0/10 against 3,572 of them, against 7.4/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 76.0% 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 Outstanding in June 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Lego and construction or board game clubs, play cricket, attend a barn dance, and do daily K. Art and craft activities are also offered. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 389 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 31 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the daily K schedule fit with other physical activities? What specific support is available for the 10.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
