About Jarvis Brook Primary School

Jarvis Brook Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2014. The school's leadership and management were also judged Good, and the ungraded inspection confirmed that standards have been maintained. When it comes to academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 43%. That is notably below the East Sussex local authority average of 59%, placing the school 111th out of 144 primary schools in the area. In the Wealden borough specifically, it ranks 42nd out of 48 schools, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is mixed across individual subjects: 76% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 71% in writing, but only 48% in maths, and just 10% reached the higher standard across all three disciplines.
