About Kingsham Primary School

Kingsham Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the West Sussex local authority average, a useful starting point for parents comparing options. The school achieved a 62% expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, against an LA average of 56%. That six-point gap places Kingsham 71st out of 226 primary schools in the county, putting it in the top third of its local peers. Its ranking within Chichester itself is even stronger: 10th out of 38 primary schools, which works out at roughly the 26th percentile. So while Kingsham isn’t among the very highest performers in West Sussex, it’s clearly delivering above the norm for its area, and comfortably ahead of the typical LA school. The school’s Ofsted rating of Good, upgraded from Requires Improvement in its previous graded inspection, reinforces the sense of a school that has found its feet and is now performing solidly.
