Littlebourne Church of England Primary School
About Littlebourne Church of England Primary School
Littlebourne Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a rating it has held consistently across its last two full inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 53% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Kent local authority average of 63%, placing the school 23rd out of 30 primary schools in the Canterbury district and in the bottom half nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 80% of pupils reached the expected standard, and 40% achieved the higher standard. Writing also saw 80% at expected, while maths came in at 73% expected. Average scaled scores were 106 in reading and 105 in maths, both slightly above the national average of 100.
