Newick Church of England Primary School
Lewes, BN8 4NB · East Sussex · primary school
27th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,081 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 62% | 3.50 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 38% | 2.72 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1 out of 10 among them, against 6.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Karate, Ballet, Choir, Engineering, Cookery, Dance Club, and Singing Lessons. Sports include Football, Tennis, Table Tennis, and Netball. Music lessons cover Guitar, Ukulele, Drums, Cello, Piano, and Woodwind. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 204 pupils in a capacity of 220, leaving 16 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 are not reaching the higher standard? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for new joiners given the current pupil numbers?
