Pupils at Dover and Deal primaries are outscoring their peers across the UK, according to new figures. Nationally, the proportion of youngsters achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths has risen from 61% to 64% this year. And two thirds of primary schools in Dover and Deal bettered the national average in their 2018 Key Stage 2 performance.
Top of the class are Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School, where 100% of pupils met the expected standard, rising 23% since last year. Meanwhile, 97% at both Kingsdown and Ringwould Church of England Primary School and Sibertswold Church of England Primary School got the required grades.
Twenty-two (68.7%) of the 32 Dover and Deal primaries for which results are available achieved above the national average. A number of schools made huge strides in the proportion of pupils hitting the standard. Guston Church of England Primary School made the biggest improvement, from 57% to 92%. Meanwhile, Northbourne Church of England Primary School leapt from 46% to 76.
It's fantastic to see school standards continuing to rise in Dover and Deal. The hardworking teachers and staff at our primary schools deserve huge credit. We must keep doing everything we can to ensure our youngsters get the best start in life.

If you type in a school name it will show how much funding it has lost and also class sizes or pupil/teacher ratio.

Disgusting.I read the link Howard.I shall send an email as Mr Carter bleats on about cuts etc but they managed to give all members an increase in their allowances in 2017.At least on DDC former Cllr Watkins made sure all councillors took a pay cut .Led by excample.
My letter will make not one bit of difference but watching the KCC meetings like watching paint dry.At least the Thanet. Councillors have a go.
