Fairlight Primary School

About Fairlight Primary School

Fairlight Primary School in Brighton and Hove holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in June 2024 that confirmed the school remains Good and is improving. The most telling academic metric for this primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 results, 55 per cent of Fairlight’s Year 6 pupils hit that combined benchmark. That figure sits just below the local authority average of 59 per cent, placing the school 29th out of 40 primaries in Brighton and Hove on this measure. While the school is in the bottom half nationally for this metric, its individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 73 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 71 per cent did so in reading, both respectable figures that suggest the combined result is pulled down by writing, where 61 per cent reached the expected level.
