About Priory Infant School

Priory Infant School is a state primary in Thanet, Kent, for children aged 4 to 7, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall — a rating it has held consistently across its previous inspection in 2014. While the school does not have published Key Stage 2 SATs results (its pupils leave at age 7, before the standard KS2 assessments), the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 63 per cent. This means direct academic comparison with the LA average isn't possible at the end of primary, but the school's Ofsted record places it in a solid position. Across Kent, 54 of 459 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating, and the nearest one, Newington Community Primary School, is 1. 6 km away. Priory Infant School's own Good rating, combined with its early-years focus, suggests it provides a reliable foundation for younger children before they move on to a junior school.
