About Morehall Primary School and Nursery

Morehall Primary School and Nursery has been rated Good by Ofsted across all five categories in its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s strongest academic indicator is its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 83% of pupils achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well above the Kent local authority average of 63% and places Morehall 6th out of 35 primary schools in the Folkestone and Hythe district, putting it in the top 10% locally. In maths, every single pupil reached the expected standard, and half achieved the higher standard.

The school’s national percentile ranking of 7.8 for combined expected standards confirms it is performing comfortably above the median for state primaries across England.
