Littlebourne Church of England Primary School

School overview

Littlebourne Church of England Primary School is a primary school serving Canterbury, Kent, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. It has 104 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. 47% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 6.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 13% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Littlebourne Church of England Primary School is oversubscribed: about 8 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 16 first choices for 15 places. Overall pupil absence was 6.9%. There are about 16.0 pupils per teacher. Littlebourne Church of England Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
