Godinton Primary School

School overview

Godinton Primary School is a primary school serving Ashford, Kent, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 416 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 5.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 37% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 12% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Godinton Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 56 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.7%. There are about 22.6 pupils per teacher. Godinton 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.
