Hunton Church of England Primary School

School overview

Hunton Church of England Primary School is a primary school serving Maidstone, Kent, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. It has 107 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 6.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on 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 top 26% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 13% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 78% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (18 first choices for 15 places). Overall pupil absence was 6.5%. There are about 21.0 pupils per teacher. Hunton 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.
