Chilton Primary School
About Chilton Primary School
Chilton Primary School’s key stage 2 results stand well above the Kent local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 63%, Chilton achieved 81% in the 2023/24 academic year. That puts the school second out of 25 primary schools in Thanet, and inside the top 10% nationally. The school also outperforms the LA norm at the higher standard, with 19% of pupils reaching that level compared with the county average. In individual subjects, reading and maths average scores of 108 and 107 respectively suggest solid foundations, and 86% of pupils met the expected standard in both. The school’s Ofsted rating of Outstanding, confirmed in its most recent graded inspection in 2019 and maintained in an ungraded inspection in June 2025, backs up the academic picture. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all received Outstanding grades.
