Check the area around this school
59th of 130 primary schools in East Sussex we can score, 144 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.4/10 against 1,807 of them, against 4.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Saints CofE Junior Academy
Overview
All Saints Church of England Junior Academy continues to be a good school, where pupils thrive and demonstrate positive attitudes towards learning. Leaders have created a culture of high ambition, ensuring that most pupils progress well through a broad and interesting curriculum. The school is well led, with staff well-being prioritised and manageable workloads maintained.
Strengths
- Pupils have positive relationships with staff, feel safe, and behave well, with bullying being rare and dealt with swiftly.
- The curriculum in subjects such as reading, mathematics, and history is well sequenced, enabling pupils to develop clear understanding and confidence.
- Staff are confident in teaching reading, supported by thorough training, and the minority of pupils who find reading difficult receive quick, effective help.
- Teachers use careful questioning to check understanding and adapt planning to close gaps, while frequent recapping helps embed learning.
- Pupils value extensive after-school clubs and leadership roles, contributing to a vibrant school life underpinned by values of kindness and resilience.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, key knowledge is not clearly identified; leaders should refine the curriculum to help pupils remember more and integrate knowledge.
- Persistent absence is very high; leaders must continue to focus on reducing absence and supporting parents to ensure regular attendance.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture, high-quality staff training, and swift, appropriate responses to concerns.
