155th of 192 primary schools in West Sussex we can score, 225 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 3,450 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 1.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 36.0 · 6 | 40% | 0.22 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about The Globe Primary Academy
Overview
The Globe Primary Academy continues to be a good school, described by pupils as an "inclusive and nurturing" environment where kindness is central. Leaders have strengthened the curriculum since the pandemic, particularly in mathematics, ensuring high expectations and clear sequencing for all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils thrive in a "kind school" where bullying is rare and positive behaviour is celebrated through reward systems.
- The curriculum in mathematics is well-designed, with teachers demonstrating "good subject knowledge" and effectively addressing gaps in understanding.
- Reading has a "high profile," with carefully selected books enhancing the wider curriculum and supporting personal development.
- Leaders provide a coherent programme for personal, social and health education, including engaging projects like growing and cooking vegetables.
- Executive leaders within the multi-academy trust support school leaders well, and the board of trustees understands its statutory duties.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must continue to develop staff expertise in early reading so that pupils who struggle receive "precisely the right help" and sufficient practice with decodable books.
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum has not been "thought through carefully enough," leading to inconsistent work standards and unclear progression towards end points.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff trained to identify risks and leaders ensuring pupils receive appropriate help and learn to keep themselves safe.
