The Windmills Junior School
Hassocks, BN6 8LS · West Sussex · primary school
52nd 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 3,315 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 5.5/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 41% | 2.14 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.70 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 26% | 1.58 |
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, 65.0% 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 December 2021. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6 out of 10 among them, against 5.5 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 363 pupils in a capacity of 360, meaning it is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What steps are taken to support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How has the teaching quality changed since the 2021 inspection?
