Check the area around this school
35th of 130 primary schools in East Sussex we can score, 144 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 4,279 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 6.2/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Maynards Green Community Primary School
Overview
Maynards Green Community Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a “friendly school” where pupils “delight in attending” and feel “happy and safe” within a “warm atmosphere.” Leaders ensure teaching is purposeful and staff workload is manageable, resulting in pupils who “achieve well across a broad range of subjects.”
Strengths
- Pupils “behave exceptionally well,” showing they are “respectful and kind” with “joyful and active” playtimes.
- The curriculum “meets the needs and interests of the pupils well,” with teachers who are “knowledgeable and confident.”
- Early years children “develop their phonics knowledge well” and transition confidently into Year 1.
- Pupils receive “meaningful enrichment opportunities,” including visits, sports events, and roles of responsibility that “build pupils’ aspirations.”
- Staff “identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well,” particularly through early identification of speech and language needs.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure pupils “apply their writing skills consistently well when writing across different subjects,” as grammar, punctuation, and spelling application is currently “too varied.”
- The school must ensure its approach to adapting learning for pupils with SEND is “consistently applied across all subjects” so that all such pupils “secure their understanding of the key vocabulary.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
