Westdene Primary School
Brighton, BN1 5GN · Brighton and Hove · primary school
22nd 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,352 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 3.8/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 62% | 2.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 38% | 1.55 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6 out of 10 among them, against 3.8 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 445 pupils in a capacity of 500, leaving 55 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities or trips are available to pupils during the school day? How does the school manage the transition for children moving into Year 6?
