Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.4/10 Broadly average

54th 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 — 5.6/10 against 3,891 of them, against 5.6/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 78.0 · 84 40% 3.36
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.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.6 out of 10 either way).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Choir and change4life, play gymnastics, football, and netball, and learn guitar or ukulele. The school runs an after-school club but does not offer a breakfast club.

Getting in. There are 207 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities are available in the after-school club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 3 places remaining?
