About Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School

Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the Kent local authority, serving just 107 pupils aged 4 to 11 in the Canterbury area. It sits within a competitive landscape of 459 same-type schools across Kent, where 54 hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school's ranking on the KS2 expected standard in reading, writing and maths places it 382nd in the county, and 27th out of 30 primary schools within Canterbury itself. For context, the top-performing peers in the LA include Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, Leigh Academy Dartford, and Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School. The nearest Outstanding-rated alternative is Preston Primary School, 3.7 km away. Despite its modest ranking, Wickhambreaux has its own strengths, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 awarded it Outstanding across every category judged, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision.
