Steyning CofE Primary School
Steyning, BN44 3RQ · West Sussex · primary school
75th 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 4,306 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 4.5/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 4.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join STEM Club, Flow Drama, Art Club, Archery Club, iStar Gym, Dance, Sama Karate, Seishin Academy Karate, Chelsea Football Club, and GYSO Roller Skate Club. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 335 pupils in a building with 420 places, leaving 85 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to bridge the gap between the 58.0% expected standard and the national median? What specific support is available for the 9.0% aiming for the higher standard? How does the recent inspection report guide current teaching strategies?
