Finberry Primary School
About Finberry Primary School
Finberry Primary School sits comfortably above the Kent local authority average for its key stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, with 77% of pupils reaching that benchmark compared to the LA average of 63%. That 14-percentage-point gap places the school in the top 25% nationally and 6th out of 40 primary schools in Ashford, according to the most recent data. The school also outperforms the LA average in individual subjects: 80% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and maths, and 87% did so in writing. At the higher standard, 13% achieved the combined measure, with maths leading at 40% and reading and writing both at 27%. Average scaled scores of 108 in maths and 107 in reading further underline solid academic performance. This is a school that consistently delivers results above its local peers, without being among the very highest flyers — it ranks 81st out of 459 primary schools across Kent.
