Netherfield CofE Primary School
Battle, TN33 9QF · East Sussex · primary school
95th of 130 primary schools in East Sussex we can score, 145 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.8/10 against 3,364 of them, against 4.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 9 | 35% | 0.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. However, 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in April 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 126 pupils in a capacity of 140, leaving 14 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What does the daily timetable look like for a child in Year 6? How does the school maintain its Outstanding rating with such a small cohort?
