Check the area around this school
87th of 192 primary schools in West Sussex we can score, 225 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 4,258 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 4.0/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate high levels of respect and kindness, contributing to a strong, cohesive community where they behave well and learn effectively.
- The curriculum is carefully planned, with staff successfully adapting teaching so that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities learn alongside their peers.

Areas to improve
