Sir Henry Fermor Church of England Primary School
Crowborough, TN6 2SD · East Sussex · primary school
100th 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 3,745 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 2.2/10 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 | 40.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.33 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 40.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4 out of 10 among them, against 2.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Ezeesports, Ezeeblox, Recorder Club, Musical Theatre Club, Choir, and Orchestra. Sports include football, karate, and a morning running club. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 383 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 37 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in literacy? What specific strategies are used to raise attainment from the current 40.0%? How does the curriculum balance the wide range of clubs with core academic time?
