Bartons Primary School, Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis, PO21 5EJ · West Sussex · primary school
118th of 193 primary schools in West Sussex we can score, 226 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 the 3,891 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4/10 among them, against 3.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4 out of 10 among them, against 3.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Karate Kidz, Lego, Street Dance, choir, and football. Sports options cover athletics, rounders, cricket, and running. Arts and music activities include art, sewing, ukulele, and Young Voices. A trip to Holy Cross Church is offered. There is an after-school club, but no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 207 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 3 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list if a place opens up mid-year? Since there is no breakfast club, what support is available for families who need early morning care? How does the school help pupils bridge the gap between the 56.0% expected standard and the 4.0% higher standard?
