Schools in Broadstairs
Broadstairs has 12 schools administered by Kent County Council, including 7 primaries and 2 secondary schools. Six of the 11 capacity-tracked schools are oversubscribed - one of the higher oversubscription rates in Kent - and all six Ofsted-rated schools hold a Good or Outstanding rating. One selective school operates in the area, reflecting Kent's fully selective secondary system where all pupils sit the 11-plus assessment.
Four schools have a religious character. High oversubscription at primary level means catchment distances at popular schools can be short and shift year to year. Kent's grammar allocation is based on 11-plus test performance, and grammar schools across the Thanet area draw pupils from Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Margate. Non-selective secondary provision is provided by Upton and Clarendon secondary schools in the wider area.
