Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary Church of England
4.6/10 Broadly average

25th of 38 secondary schools in West Sussex we can score, 40 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 — 4.6/10 against 905 of them, against 4.3/10 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.

Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 36.4 · 31 30% 0.92

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, 36.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 41.7, compared with the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.18 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those starting from the same place nationally. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023.

Getting in. The school has 780 pupils in a capacity of 900, leaving 120 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their Attainment 8 score and the national median? What specific extracurricular opportunities are available to students? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating following the 2023 inspection?
