Millais School
Horsham, RH13 5HR · West Sussex · secondary school
13th of 38 secondary schools in West Sussex we can score, 40 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 647 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.0/10 among them, against 7.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 59.0 · 81 | 30% | 2.42 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.22 · 66 | 25% | 1.66 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.6 · 76 | 10% | 0.76 |
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, 59.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.22 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022-11. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.0 out of 10 among them, against 7.4 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 896 pupils in a capacity of 1500, leaving 604 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to reach the national median in Attainment 8? What specific steps are being taken to improve the Progress 8 score relative to similar-intake schools? How does the current Ofsted rating reflect recent changes in teaching quality?
