Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, Lower Beeding
About Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, Lower Beeding
Holy Trinity CofE Primary School in Lower Beeding holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2022 and its previous one in 2013. However, the inspection report reveals a more nuanced picture: while the school’s overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all received a Good rating, its early years provision was judged as Requires improvement. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results. Just 38% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is significantly below the West Sussex local authority average of 56%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 33rd out of 35 schools in the Horsham area on this measure. The data suggests that while the school is well-regarded by inspectors for its overall environment, its core academic outcomes at the end of primary school are notably weaker than those of its local peers.
