About Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery
Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery stands out sharply against the East Sussex average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 85% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of just 59%. That is a 26 percentage point gap, and it places the school third out of 30 primary schools in the Rother district, comfortably inside the top 10% nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 85 reflects strong performance across the board, though it is worth noting that its top peer in the local area, St Peter and St Paul CofE Primary School, scored 92. Still, for a small village primary with just 127 pupils on roll, these are punchy results that suggest a focused, academically effective setting.
