Bevendean Primary School and Nursery
Brighton, BN2 4JP · Brighton and Hove · primary school
16th of 43 primary schools in Brighton and Hove we can score, 48 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 — 5.7/10 against 1,325 of them, against 4.3/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 62% | 3.86 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The school recorded 0.0% at the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the School Council, with both a breakfast club and an after-school club available.
Getting in. The school has 317 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 103 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How do class sizes impact individual attention with 103 places currently vacant?
