Seaford Primary School
Seaford, BN25 2JF · East Sussex · primary school
43rd 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 4,306 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 5.9/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, following an inspection in May 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9 out of 10 among them, against 5.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join book, coding, eco, environmental, and SAMBA clubs. Sports include basketball, football, gymnastics, handball, karate, multi sports, and yoga. Arts and music options cover choir, dance, and orchestra. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 393 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, leaving 27 spare spots. 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 in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the eco and environmental clubs? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the current pupil numbers?
