About Mundella Primary School

Mundella Primary School in Folkestone and Hythe sits at the bottom of the local authority rankings for primary schools, ranked 409th out of 459 schools of its type in Kent. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at just 30%, less than half the Kent local authority average of 63%. This places the school in the bottom 50 nationally and in the 97th percentile of its region, meaning only a handful of schools in the South East perform lower. The school is heavily skewed toward disadvantage, with 58.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, more than three times the national average, which provides important context for these results. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, the school was rated Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2020, with all categories — including quality of education, behaviour and leadership — now judged Good.
