Hangleton Primary School

Hove, BN3 8LF · Brighton and Hove · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
3.2/10 Below average

31st 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.1/10 against 2,183 of them, against 2.1/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 51.0 · 21 40% 0.84
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 1.0 · 21 25% 0.53

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, 51.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 1.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.1 out of 10 either way).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Eco-club, Netball, Dance, Hangleton Historian, Running, Chess, Wellbeing, and Cookery clubs, and visit Hindleap Warren.

Getting in. The school has 403 pupils in a building with 533 places, leaving 130 spare spots. 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 need extra help to reach the expected standard? What are the options for children who arrive late or leave early? How does the school manage class sizes with so many spare places?
