Ofsted: Inadequate · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
0.7/10 Well below average

189th 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 3,003 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit. What specific actions have been taken since the 2022 Inadequate rating to improve teaching quality? How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What steps are being taken to raise the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard?
