Reculver Church of England Primary School
Herne Bay, CT6 6TA · Kent · primary school
151st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.1/10 against 3,320 of them, against 4.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| 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, 59.0% 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 Outstanding in 2024-12. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Nature, Writing, Choir, and Cookery Clubs, play cross country, athletics, cricket, dance, football, netball, speed-stacking, and hockey, and perform with Young Voices. Trips include Forest School, Wingham Wildlife Park, the Christmas Panto, Seaside Safari, Reculver Towers, the beach, the Roman Museum, The Beaney Art Gallery, and Houses of Parliament. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 455 pupils in a capacity of 525, leaving 70 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are available in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children arriving without a breakfast club routine?
