Pound Hill Junior School, Crawley
Crawley, RH10 7EB · West Sussex · primary school
20th of 193 primary schools in West Sussex we can score, 226 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 — 7.7/10 against 4,278 of them, against 7.6/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in trips to the Isle of Wight, France, and Hindleap Warren, alongside events like the Year 3 Sleepover and Young Voices.
Getting in. The school has 352 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving 8 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 8 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what support is available for families needing care before or after the school day? How does the school maintain its Good rating while supporting the small group of pupils who did not reach the expected standard?
