About Christ Church CofE Primary and Nursery Academy
Christ Church CofE Primary and Nursery Academy in Hastings posts a KS2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 65%, which sits six percentage points above the East Sussex local authority average of 59% for primary schools.

In the Hastings local ranking specifically, it comes 6th out of 16 schools, putting it in the top 40% nationally. The school is also a Church of England academy with a nursery for children aged 2 to 11, and it currently has 452 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480. Nearly half of its pupils — 49.5% — are eligible for free school meals, which is a high proportion and makes its above-average results particularly notable.
