Garlinge Primary School and Nursery

About Garlinge Primary School and Nursery

Garlinge Primary School and Nursery holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained since its previous inspection in 2014. The inspection report highlights a particular strength in personal development, which was judged Outstanding, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all rated Good. On the key academic metric for primary schools, just 50% of Garlinge’s pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at the end of Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. This is notably below the Kent local authority average of 63%, and it places the school 22nd out of 25 primary schools in the Thanet area. Nationally, Garlinge sits in the bottom 50% of schools on this measure, ranking in the 79th percentile. The school’s maths average score was 102, and reading averaged 103, both close to the national benchmark of 100, but the proportion reaching the higher standard in any subject was low — just 3% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
