Check the area around this school
65th of 192 primary schools in West Sussex we can score, 225 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 4,209 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3/10 among them, against 4.7/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 North Mundham Primary School
Overview
North Mundham Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils love attending the school, where they feel safe, cared for, and behave well within a community characterised by strong, respectful relationships. The school remains ambitious for all pupils to achieve well, offering a broad curriculum and extensive opportunities for social and physical development.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a well-structured phonics programme delivered with high consistency, enabling those needing extra help to catch up quickly and develop reading confidence.
- Staff provide effective support for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), using bespoke strategies such as electronic dictation devices.
- Teachers explain new ideas clearly and skilfully demonstrate how to use subject-specific vocabulary to deepen pupils’ understanding.
- The school has made thoughtful changes to the English and mathematics curriculum in response to national assessments, helping pupils revisit and apply knowledge successfully.
- Pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain through meaningful opportunities to appreciate diversity, engage in anti-racism workshops, and explore careers.
Areas to improve
- Teachers’ pedagogical knowledge is not consistently strong; the school must ensure tasks enable pupils to learn the intended curriculum securely.
- Checks to verify that all pupils have secured knowledge and skills are not done consistently well; the school should improve how teachers address misconceptions before moving on to new learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
