Woodchurch Church of England Primary School
About Woodchurch Church of England Primary School
Woodchurch Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 44% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the Kent local authority average of 63%, placing the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure. In the Ashford local authority ranking, Woodchurch sits 36th out of 40 primary schools, putting it in the 90th percentile — meaning only four schools in the area performed worse on this combined measure. The picture is slightly more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 60% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, and 56% did so in both reading and maths. However, the proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects was just 8%, and in maths specifically only 12% achieved the higher benchmark.
