Broadwater CofE Primary School
Worthing, BN14 7TQ · West Sussex · primary school
25th 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 3,955 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.9/10 among them, against 7.6/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.9 out of 10 among them, against 7.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils play cricket, football, netball, girls rugby, and gymnastics. Trips include visits to Worthing beach, Arundel Castle, Fishbourne Roman Palace, and Drusillas Park. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 431 pupils in a school with 436 places, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need care before or after the school day, given there are no wraparound clubs? What specific steps are being taken to raise the percentage of pupils reaching the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 5 places remaining?
