Cross-in-Hand Church of England Primary School
About Cross-in-Hand Church of England Primary School
Cross-in-Hand Church of England Primary School sits slightly above the local authority average for East Sussex primary schools on the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. The school’s figure of 60 per cent edges past the LA average of 59 per cent, though the gap is narrow. That places it in the bottom half of schools nationally on this metric, at the 57th percentile, and exactly mid-table within Wealden, where it ranks 24th out of 48 primary schools. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, so it’s harder to judge how much value it adds beyond raw attainment, but the headline result suggests a broadly average performance relative to its peers. The school is rated Good by Ofsted across all categories in its most recent inspection in 2022, with leadership, behaviour, personal development and early years provision all judged Good. That represents a consistent picture: the previous inspection in 2015 also rated the school Good overall.
