Christ Church CofE Primary and Nursery Academy
Hastings, TN37 6JJ · East Sussex · primary school
98th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 2.9/10 against 1,177 of them, against 2.3/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Eco Club and Gardening Club, and attend a Children’s Pilgrimage to Walsingham. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 452 pupils in a capacity of 480, leaving 28 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 50.0% meeting expected standards against a 64% national median, what specific strategies are used to support pupils who are not yet reaching these benchmarks? Since there is no breakfast club, how does the school ensure children arrive ready to learn? How does the after-school club support pupils’ development beyond the core curriculum?
