Harting CofE Primary School
South Harting, GU31 5QT · West Sussex · primary school
141st 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 4,352 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1/10 among them, against 3.4/10 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 | 62% | 1.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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 8.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1 out of 10 among them, against 3.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Brass Bands, Rocksteady, Coding Club, and Play Leaders. Sports include football, cricket, hockey, and swimming. Arts activities feature Street Nation Dance School, piano recitals, and choir. Trips visit Cobnor Activities Centre, Fort Nelson, Scoltand, Chichester Harbour, the South Downs Planetarium, and the Youth Brass Fest in London. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 97 pupils in a building with 140 places, leaving 43 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to bridge the gap between the 50.0% expected standard and the national median of 64%? What specific strategies are used to help the 8.0% who reach the higher standard continue their progress? How do the 43 spare places affect the size of individual class groups?
