School overview

St Thomas of Canterbury RC Primary School is a primary school serving Gillingham, Medway, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. It has 240 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 40% of primary schools nationally.

There are about 24.2 pupils per teacher. St Thomas of Canterbury RC 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.
