About Hamstreet Primary Academy

Hamstreet Primary Academy is a state primary school in Ashford, Kent, that currently educates 248 pupils against a total capacity of 315, meaning it has room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 21 per cent, which is above the national average and suggests a notably diverse intake in terms of socioeconomic background. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 59 applications for just 37 places, with 31 of those coming as first preferences. This oversubscription ratio of 1. 59 indicates a healthy local reputation, even though the school is not yet full to capacity. The headteacher is Helen Glancy, and the school has no religious character. It does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, catering strictly to children aged 4 to 11 in a mixed-gender setting.
