About Hoo St Werburgh Primary School and the Marlborough

Hoo St Werburgh Primary School and the Marlborough in Medway holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with one standout area: inspectors rated its personal development as Outstanding. That’s a notable achievement for a primary school, and it suggests a real focus on how children grow as individuals. On the academic side, the key metric to look at is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 47%. That’s well below the Medway local authority average of 62%, and it places the school 49th out of 55 primaries in the area, putting it in the bottom tier locally. The school’s national percentile ranking of around 83rd reinforces that picture. Still, the Ofsted report shows consistency: the school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, and the 2024 visit found quality of education, behaviour and leadership all rated Good too.
