Chyngton School
About Chyngton School
Chyngton School, a state primary in Lewes, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 45%. This figure is notably below the East Sussex local authority average of 59%, placing the school 106th out of 144 primaries in the area. In the wider South East region, Chyngton ranks in the bottom half of schools on this measure. While the school’s overall effectiveness is solid, the KS2 combined result suggests that, for a significant portion of its cohort, achieving the expected benchmark across all three core subjects remains a challenge.
