Homefield Primary School and SSC
About Homefield Primary School and SSC
Homefield Primary School and SSC sits in a tricky spot compared with the West Sussex average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 56 per cent, while Homefield’s figure is 53 per cent — three points below the norm. That gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects: 70 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard in reading (against a typical LA picture), 69 per cent in maths, and 63 per cent in writing. Where the school really diverges is at the higher end — just 3 per cent of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, and only 3 per cent did so in writing specifically. In a borough where 16 primaries are ranked, Homefield sits 13th, placing it in the bottom half nationally. For parents weighing up options, these numbers suggest a school that is broadly in line with local averages but not pushing a large proportion of pupils into the top performance brackets.
