Source: DfE Get Information About Schools
Are there any Outstanding schools in Hythe?
None of the 6 graded schools in Hythe currently holds an Outstanding rating. 6 are rated Good, so 100% are Good or better. Ofsted stopped giving single-word overall grades in September 2024, so these are the grades from each school's last full inspection.

Which primary schools in Hythe have the best SATs results?
Of the 6 primary schools in Hythe with 2025 Key Stage 2 results, the highest shares of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and maths were at Lympne Church of England Primary School (96% in reading, 92% in maths); Seabrook Church of England Primary School (94% in reading, 88% in maths); and Palmarsh Primary School (87% in reading, 67% in maths). Small schools can swing a long way from one year to the next, because each pupil is a large share of the result.

Are there grammar schools in Hythe?

Do schools in Hythe have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Hythe have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Kent allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.
How do I apply for a school place in Hythe?
Apply to Kent through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts.
