Entries on this page include the OFSTED Grade for each Primary School as they are published, also recording change from previous Inspection result, together with some other relevant information below. It is worth using the search engine on the Home Page to pick up other references to individual schools.

You can read the full Report on each Primary School at OFSTED. In September 2012, OFSTED revised its Inspection Grading System, giving each school a main Grade: Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement (previously Satisfactory), and Inadequate (two sub categories - A school that has serious weaknesses is inadequate overall and requires significant improvement but leadership and management are judged to be Grade 3 or better - A school that requires special measures is one where the school is failing to give its pupils an acceptable standard of education and the school’s leaders, managers or governors have not demonstrated that they have the capacity to secure the necessary improvement in the school). The Report carries a brief description of the school before justifying its decision in more detail. 

You will find an item about Dover, Deal and Sandwich primary school offers in April 2017, looking at oversubscription and vacancies here, for 2016 here, and for 2015 here. 

You will find a good website to provide a host of factual data about individual Kent schools here.

Reports published post-August 2017 are in the first table, followed by other tables containing older ones.

 Both Lydd and Dymchurch have been taken over by The Village Academy, St Nicholas and Brenzett by the Diocese of Canterbury. 

Extract from section on Shepway in article on Oversubscription and Vacancies in Kent Primary Schools 2015: "Just one of the 17 schools in Folkestone, Cheriton Primary, has vacancies, with a total of 3 spaces out of the 748 available".
