St Augustine of Canterbury Catholic Primary School

Gillingham, ME8 9NP · Medway · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
6.5/10 Above average

10th of 56 primary schools in Medway we can score, 76 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 — 7.0/10 against 4,360 of them, against 7.2/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 70.0 · 65 40% 2.62

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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 15.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Choir, Computing, Film, Dance, Languages, Comic club, Rubix cube club, and Art club. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 189 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 21 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late for the morning session, given there is no breakfast club? What specific activities does the after-school club offer? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2024 inspection?
