About Newlands Primary School

Newlands Primary School in Thanet outperforms the Kent local authority average for Key Stage 2, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 63%. That seven-point gap is a meaningful difference for a state primary, and it places the school 7th out of 25 primary schools in the Thanet district, putting it in the top 28% locally. The school also does well at the higher end: 44% of pupils achieved a higher standard in reading, and 21% did so in maths. These are solid results for a school where 64. 3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with Good for leadership and management and Good for early years provision. That’s an improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, when it was judged to require improvement.
