About Colliers Green Church of England Primary School

Colliers Green Church of England Primary School sits right on the Kent local authority average for the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, with 63% hitting that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places it exactly in line with the LA average for primary schools, which is also 63%. However, dig a little deeper and the picture becomes more nuanced. The school’s reading scores are notably strong: 81% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 56% achieved a higher standard — a figure that far outstrips the maths higher score of 13% and writing higher score of 13%. The average reading score of 109 is comfortably above the national benchmark of 100, while the maths average of 104 is also above that line. This is a small school — just 114 pupils against a capacity of 112 — and its Church of England character shapes its identity, with a chapel on site and a headteacher, Josephine Hopkins, leading a close-knit community.
