Harlands Primary School
Haywards Heath, RH16 1PJ · West Sussex · primary school
124th 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 1,477 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1/10 among them, against 3.1/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| 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, 57.0% 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 March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1 out of 10 among them, against 3.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Year 3 Ukelele, choir, karate, cricket, multi-skills, and Popsteps. Sports cover football, athletics, hockey, and netball. Arts activities include nativity plays, spring concerts, and Key Stage 2 productions. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 457 pupils in a capacity of 450 places, meaning it is over capacity by 7. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity when allocating new places? What specific support is offered to pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? How does the after-school club operate for families who need care until late afternoon?
