About Icklesham Church of England Primary School and Nursery

Icklesham Church of England Primary School and Nursery was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at 61% in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school slightly above the East Sussex local authority average of 59% for the same measure. Within the Rother district, Icklesham ranks 15th out of 30 primary schools, putting it in the middle of the pack locally. Nationally, it sits around the 53rd percentile, meaning it performs broadly in line with the typical primary school across England. The school’s reading and writing expected rates were both 72%, while maths expected was 61%, and average scores in reading (104) and maths (101) were solidly within the expected range.
