About Glenleigh Park Primary Academy

Glenleigh Park Primary Academy in Rother was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its 2014 and 2023 graded inspections. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 69% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure places the school comfortably above the East Sussex local authority average of 59% for the same measure. Within the Rother district, Glenleigh Park ranks 7th out of 30 primary schools on this metric, putting it in the top quarter of local schools. Nationally, it sits in the 32nd percentile, a solid mid-table performance that reflects consistent, if not exceptional, outcomes across the core subjects.
