About Worth Primary School

Worth Primary School is a primary school in Deal, Kent, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 65 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 14% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 19.0 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 lower half of primary schools nationally.
