About Halling Primary School

Halling Primary School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across its last two inspections. The inspection report highlighted personal development as Outstanding, the only category to reach that top grade, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and early years provision were all judged Good. On the most informative exam metric available, 64% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just above the Medway local authority average of 62%, placing the school 28th out of 55 primary schools in the area. Nationally, it ranks in the middle 50% of all primary schools, which gives a solid, if unspectacular, picture of academic performance.
