The Royal Harbour Academy
Ramsgate, CT12 6FA · Kent · secondary school
98th of 99 secondary schools in Kent we can score, 103 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 — 0.5/10 against 107 of them, against 0.2/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 5 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 15.6 · 1 | 30% | 0.04 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.02 · 2 | 25% | 0.06 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 28.9 · 1 | 10% | 0.01 |
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. The school was inspected in 2026-05 and rated Requires improvement. In 2024/25, 15.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 28.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -1.02 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Cooking, Judo, and E-sports clubs, participate in Duke of Edinburgh, and engage with Artsmark. The school also organises a trip to Ypres. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. There are 1013 pupils in a school with 916 places, leaving it over capacity by 97. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 97-pupil overage in daily operations? What specific actions are being taken to address the Requires improvement rating? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs support pupils during the transition to secondary education?
