St Martin's CofE Primary School
Brighton, BN2 3LJ · Brighton and Hove · primary school
25th of 43 primary schools in Brighton and Hove we can score, 48 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 — 3.1/10 against 1,797 of them, against 2.8/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| 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, 60.0% 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. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join dance, craft, and art clubs, play football and multi-sports, and visit the Houses of Parliament, I360, Blackland Farm Outdoor Centre, and Portsmouth Historical Dockyard. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 212 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 2. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils who have not reached the expected standard in maths? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum for those who attend?
