Westbrook, Thanet: Schools
Schools
Westbrook's schools offer a mixed picture. You've got solid state provision nearby and an outstanding independent special school, though secondary results are worth keeping an eye on.
Garlinge Primary School and Nursery is your closest primary option. It's a state foundation school rated Good by Ofsted. At Key Stage 2, 56% of pupils met expected standards in reading, writing and maths — that's below the national average of around 61%.
Hartsdown Academy is the secondary school serving the neighbourhood. It's also rated Good, but its latest inspection flagged achievement and attendance as areas needing improvement. Its Attainment 8 score of 32.1 is well below the national average of around 46.
Cherry Tree is an independent special school just outside the neighbourhood. It earned an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in July 2025 — a genuinely impressive result.
