About Crowhurst CofE Primary School

Crowhurst CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which was an ungraded visit in 2022 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling exam metric for this small primary in Rother is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 60%. That figure is almost exactly in line with the East Sussex local authority average of 59%, placing the school in a solidly middle-of-the-road position. Nationally, it ranks in the 57th percentile among all primary schools, and within the South East region it sits in the 56th percentile. While not among the top performers in the area — the three highest-scoring local primaries all achieve ranking scores above 85 — Crowhurst’s results show a school that delivers consistent, broadly average outcomes for its pupils.
