108th 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 2,886 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 3.5/10 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Wisborough Green Primary School
Overview
Wisborough Green Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a "friendly and welcoming" environment where pupils are happy and feel safe. Leaders have established a "well-structured curriculum" with strong community links, ensuring pupils generally achieve well and develop positive attitudes towards learning and behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy attending and feel secure, with bullying described as "rare and quickly dealt with."
- Staff are "experts in the teaching of early reading," using carefully matched books to help pupils read "quickly and well."
- The curriculum is well-sequenced, with leaders making "strong links with the locality" to bring learning to life.
- Needs of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are identified carefully and met well, particularly in mathematics.
- Staff are positive about working at the school, benefiting from ongoing professional development and considered workload management.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is not as securely embedded as in others, meaning pupils do not consistently develop a "deep understanding."
- Leaders should continue to refine and embed the curriculum to ensure consistency across all subjects so pupils can achieve as well as they could.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring all staff receive necessary training, checks are completed, and concerns are responded to "quickly and appropriately."
