About Hunton Church of England Primary School

Hunton Church of England Primary School sits comfortably above the Kent local authority average for its key stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The school achieved 75% of pupils reaching that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with the LA average of 63% for primary schools. That twelve-point gap places Hunton in the top quarter of schools nationally on this metric, and 13th out of 44 primary schools in the Maidstone district. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2021, aligns with this solid academic picture. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all judged Good in the previous graded inspection, and the ungraded visit found the school remains Good. For a small village primary with just 107 pupils on roll, these headline figures suggest a school that is performing reliably above the norm for its area.
