Buxted CofE Primary School
Uckfield, TN22 4BB · East Sussex · primary school
116th of 130 primary schools in East Sussex we can score, 145 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 3,912 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.3/10 among them, against 0.9/10 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 | 41.0 · 9 | 40% | 0.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 41.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. An Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school Good. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.3 out of 10 among them, against 0.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in tennis, football, and dance, and take trips with Great Out Tours. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 192 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 18 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the Great Out Tours? How does the breakfast club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
