About Graffham Church of England Infant School (Voluntary Controlled)

Graffham Church of England Infant School is a small state primary in Chichester, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour, personal development, early years provision, and leadership. That puts it in line with the majority of West Sussex primary schools, but it’s worth noting that the school’s previous inspection in 2011 rated it Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating represents a step down. Still, with only 7 out of 226 primary schools in the local authority holding an Outstanding grade, Good is the norm here. The school’s Progress 8 score isn’t published for infant schools, and the local authority average for Key Stage 2 is 56, but since Graffham only covers Reception to Year 2, that metric doesn’t directly apply. What does stand out is how oversubscribed the school is: for 2025/26 entry, it received 34 applications for 20 places, with all 20 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.7.
