About Aldingbourne Primary School

Aldingbourne Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit well above the West Sussex local authority average, which stands at 56% for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The school’s own figure of 84% is a significant jump, placing it third out of 226 primary schools in the county. That puts Aldingbourne in the top handful of schools locally, and its ranking score of 84 is only a couple of points behind the very top performers in the area. The school also does well at the higher standard: 9% of pupils achieved that level across all three subjects, while 41% hit the higher bar in reading and 31% in maths. For a school of just 213 pupils, these are strong outcomes that suggest consistent teaching across the board.
