About Bolnore Village Primary School

Bolnore Village Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s overall effectiveness was judged Good in its last graded inspection in 2011, and an ungraded inspection in 2019 confirmed it remains Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. For a primary school, the most telling academic metric is Key Stage 2 performance, and here Bolnore’s data tells a strong story. The local authority average for KS2 attainment in West Sussex is 56, and while the school’s exact figure isn’t in the data, its position among peers suggests solid results. Bolnore is not among the top three ranked primary schools in the area — those are Barns Green, Heron Way, and Aldingbourne — but it operates in a competitive landscape where only seven out of 226 local primary schools achieve Outstanding. That context makes its sustained Good rating a meaningful achievement.
