Shoreham Beach Primary School
Shoreham-by-Sea, BN43 5RH · West Sussex · primary school
133rd 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,829 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.

Getting in. The school has 209 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving just 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 1 place remaining, how does the school manage admissions if a child leaves mid-year? Since 0.0% of pupils reached the higher standard, what specific support is offered to stretch those who are ready for more challenging work?
