Headcorn Primary School

About Headcorn Primary School

Headcorn Primary School's headline academic metrics sit below the Kent local authority average for primary schools, with 57% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 63%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools within Maidstone, ranking 30th out of 44 schools in the borough. The school's ranking score of 57 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally as well, at the 63rd percentile. That said, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading outcomes are a relative strength, with 77% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 32% achieving a higher score, while maths sees 67% at expected and 15% at the higher level. Writing is the weakest area, with 70% at expected and only 13% at the higher standard. The school's average reading score of 105 and maths average of 102 are both above the national baseline of 100, suggesting that while overall combined attainment lags the local average, pupils are making solid progress in core subjects individually.
