Check the area around this school
189th of 192 primary schools in West Sussex we can score, 225 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.3/10 against 2,056 of them, against 0.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 30.0 · 3 | 62% | 0.18 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Bersted Green Primary School, Bognor Regis
Overview
Bersted Green Primary School is described as a “friendly and welcoming” community hub where pupils are “happy and secure.” While the school has a clear ambition for all pupils to achieve well, the report states that pupils “do not achieve as well as they should” because the curriculum is “not yet delivered effectively across key stages 1 and 2.”
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a “caring and kind atmosphere” that strongly supports their well-being and enjoyment of school.
- Early years provision is strong, with staff building communication skills through “detailed modelling” and a “well organised” phonics programme.
- Personal development is a strength, with pupils becoming “confident and thoughtful citizens” through leadership roles like ‘eco-warriors’.
- Behaviour is good, with most pupils showing “kindness and empathy” and staff successfully refocusing those who become distracted.
- Attendance has “improved strongly over time” due to staff supporting families with “compassion and tenacity.”
Areas to improve
- Staff must routinely check pupils’ understanding of key content to address “gaps in learning and misconceptions” swiftly.
- The school needs to identify the specific needs of pupils with SEND more quickly and adapt tasks so they receive the necessary support to achieve well.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
