Selsted Church of England Primary School

Dover, CT15 7HH · Kent · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.3/10 Below average

344th 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 4,221 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 2.2/10 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2 out of 10 among them, against 2.2 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join STEM Club, Hama Beads, Speed Stacking, Summer Crafts, Fresh Air and Fun, Crafts, and Choir. The school does not offer a breakfast club or an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 96 pupils in a school with 105 places, leaving 9 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the higher standard? What are the specific times for the Fresh Air and Fun sessions? How does the school manage the transition for children arriving near capacity?
