About Stowting Church of England Primary School

Stowting Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection, but the story of its academic performance is even stronger than that headline suggests. In its 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, a remarkable 92% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure towers over the Kent local authority average of 63% and places the school third out of 35 primary schools in the Folkestone and Hythe district, putting it in the top five per cent locally. The school also earned a national ranking of 226 out of 13,686 primaries on this same metric. Digging deeper, every single pupil reached the expected standard in both reading and writing individually, and 100% did so in writing. The proportion reaching the higher standard in reading was 54%, with 46% hitting that mark in maths and writing. Average scaled scores of 109 in both reading and maths further underline the consistency of the school’s academic delivery.
