About Colgate Primary School

Colgate Primary School sits within the West Sussex local authority, a mixed state primary for ages 4 to 11, and ranks 19th out of 35 primary schools in the Horsham area. That places it in the bottom half of its immediate local league table, though the picture is more nuanced when you look at the wider county — it comes 89th out of 226 primary schools across West Sussex. Its top-performing local peers include Barns Green Primary School, Heron Way Primary School, and Aldingbourne Primary School, all of which score higher on the ranking metric used. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Heron Way Primary, about 4.6 kilometres away. Colgate itself has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least 2012, and its most recent ungraded inspection in March 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all graded Good in the previous graded inspection from December 2017.
