Ninfield Church of England Primary School
Battle, TN33 9JW · East Sussex · primary school
119th 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 — 3.2/10 against 3,105 of them, against 3.4/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.99 |
| Ofsted | 0 | 34% | 0.01 |
| 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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. However, 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Inadequate in June 2022. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Chess, Sewing, Young Voices, Netball, and Football clubs. The school does not offer a breakfast club or an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 137 pupils in a school with 140 places, leaving 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to address the Inadequate rating from the 2022 inspection? What specific steps are being taken to improve attainment beyond the expected standard? How does the school support pupils during the transition to secondary education given the current staffing levels?
