Check the area around this school
148th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.7/10 against 2,689 of them, against 2.0/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
West Green Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 3.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. 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 (1.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join the Multisport Club, Dodgeball/benchball, Football Club, Library, and Young Voices choir club. An after-school club is also available.

What Ofsted said about West Green Primary School
Overview
West Green Primary School is described as a “nurturing and inclusive” environment where pupils are “happy and feel safe.” The inspection found that leaders have developed an “ambitious curriculum” that is well sequenced, resulting in pupils who are “well prepared for their next steps” and achieve well in national tests.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “high levels of responsibility” and show “very positive attitudes to learning,” including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- The teaching of reading and mathematics is “well established,” with teachers carefully checking understanding to ensure pupils have the required knowledge to progress.
- Staff possess “strong subject knowledge” and design activities that help pupils quickly develop skills, such as using “rich and varied vocabulary” in Reception.
- Behaviour is a strength, with pupils showing “high levels of courtesy and consideration” and respecting each other during breaktimes.
- The school prioritises personal development, broadening experiences through visitors like the local fire service and a string quartet.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must strengthen processes to support good attendance, as “too many pupils are absent frequently,” preventing them from achieving as well as they could.
- Teachers do not check pupils’ understanding consistently in all subjects; leaders must strengthen assessment processes to identify learning gaps quickly.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
