St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School, Crawley

Crawley, RH10 6HD · West Sussex · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
4.3/10 Broadly average

102nd 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 4,260 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5/10 among them, against 3.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 67.0% 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 September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5 out of 10 among them, against 3.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in a choir and perform at the Sutton Music Festival, Winter Music Recital, Carol Service in the Friary, 'Together in Song', Reigate and Redhill Music and Art Festival, and Summer Recital. They also visit a panto and the church. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 415 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 5 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 support is available for the 5 remaining places? How does the music programme integrate with the wider curriculum?
