About Hampton Primary School

Hampton Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Kent local authority average, which is a key point for parents to weigh up. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 55%, compared with the LA average of 63%. That eight-point gap places Hampton in the bottom half of primary schools in Canterbury, where it ranks 22nd out of 30. Its national percentile of around 31% reinforces that picture. However, the picture is not uniformly flat: 78% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and the average maths score of 104 is solid. Reading and writing expected rates are lower, at 62% and 73% respectively, and the proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is just 7%. So while the school is clearly behind the local norm overall, maths stands out as a relative strength.
