About Hoath Primary School

Hoath Primary School punches well above the Kent local authority average on its headline Key Stage 2 results. In the 2023/24 academic year, 80% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of just 63%. That is a substantial 17 percentage point gap in the school’s favour, and it places Hoath second out of 30 primary schools in the Canterbury district — comfortably inside the top 10% nationally. The school is small, with 104 pupils against a capacity of 105, and its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2013 rated it Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management. An ungraded inspection in January 2022 confirmed it remains Good. That is a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2009, when it was judged to require improvement.
