About Baldwins Hill Primary School, East Grinstead

Baldwins Hill Primary School in East Grinstead holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspection in 2022 and its previous one in 2011. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 50% of pupils met the expected standard in all three subjects, which is below the West Sussex local authority average of 56%. This places the school 122nd out of 226 primary schools in the county, and 23rd out of 30 in the Mid Sussex district. While the combined figure is modest, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 71% in writing, though maths lagged at 58%. The proportion achieving the higher standard in any subject was low, with 21% reaching it in reading, 8% in maths, and none in writing.
