About Brenzett Church of England Primary School

Brenzett Church of England Primary School has been rated Good overall by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, with the school's leadership and management judged Outstanding. In an ungraded inspection in December 2024, inspectors confirmed that standards at the school are being maintained. The most telling academic metric for this small primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: 57% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Kent local authority average of 63%, placing the school 20th out of 35 primary schools in the Folkestone and Hythe district and in the bottom half nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects, where reading and writing outcomes are notably stronger.
