Elham Church of England Primary School
About Elham Church of England Primary School
Elham Church of England Primary School sits in the bottom half of Kent primary schools when it comes to the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At 42%, that figure is well below the local authority average of 63% for the 2023/24 academic year. The school ranks 386th out of 459 primaries in Kent on this measure, placing it in the bottom 50% nationally. Within the Folkestone and Hythe district, it comes 29th out of 35 schools. These headline metrics suggest a school where academic attainment at Key Stage 2 is significantly lower than what most other schools in the county achieve, and parents looking at raw results will want to weigh this against other factors.
