About Ramsgate, Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School

Ramsgate, Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School sits well above the Kent local authority average for primary schools when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 63%, Holy Trinity achieves 80% — a substantial 17 percentage point gap. That performance places the school 3rd out of 25 primary schools in the Thanet district, putting it in the top 12% locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top 12% of all primary schools, and regionally in the South East it sits in the top 10%. This is a school that consistently outperforms its immediate neighbours, and the data suggests it does so across the board, not just in one subject area.

Digging into the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the picture is strong across all three core subjects. In reading, 97% of pupils met the expected standard and 43% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 109. Maths tells a similar story: 93% at expected, 40% at the higher level, and an average score of 109. Writing saw 83% at expected and 37% at the higher standard. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2021, awarded it Outstanding across every single category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That's a clean sweep of top grades, and it matches the school's previous inspection in 2006, which also rated overall effectiveness as Outstanding. With 54 out of 459 Kent primary schools rated Outstanding, Holy Trinity is in select company.

Holy Trinity is a Church of England primary school for 210 pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is currently full to capacity. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 101 applications for just 30 places, with 45 of those as first preferences — an oversubscription ratio of 3.37 to 1. That level of demand reflects its reputation. Facilities include a forest school, art studios, a sensory room, an ICT suite, a library, and a chapel. Sports on offer include netball, tennis, athletics, swimming, rounders, dance and cricket, while clubs range from coding and choir to drama, film club and chess. The school supports pupils with a range of SEND needs, including dyslexia, speech and language difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health needs. For families seeking a high-performing, oversubscribed primary with a Christian character and strong outdoor provision, this is a school that warrants early registration.
