Parent FAQs
How many schools are there in Ramsgate?

Which are the best-rated schools in Ramsgate?
Ofsted has judged 4 schools in Ramsgate as Outstanding: Chilton Primary School, Newington Community Primary School, Laleham Gap School and Small Haven School. Around 75% of inspected schools are rated Good or Outstanding overall.
Are there grammar schools in Ramsgate?
Ramsgate itself does not have a selective grammar school listed, but families in the area often apply to grammar schools in nearby towns via the Kent Test.
How do school catchment areas work in Ramsgate?
Kent County Council does not use strict catchment areas for most community schools. Distance from home to the school is one of several oversubscription criteria, alongside siblings, looked-after status and, for faith schools, religious criteria. Always check each school's individual admissions policy.
Can I compare schools in Ramsgate side by side?
Yes. Tap "Add to compare" on any school card to line up Ofsted ratings, results, pupil numbers, admissions and facilities on our compare page.
Do Ramsgate children go to school in Margate or Broadstairs?
Very often. Thanet's secondary schools serve across the three towns, and bus routes connect them well. It is normal to name schools in more than one Thanet town on your four secondary preferences.
Is there grammar school provision in Thanet?
Yes. Thanet has long-established selective schools serving the isle, with entry through the Kent Test. As everywhere in Kent, passing the test qualifies a child for consideration rather than guaranteeing a place.
