About Kingslea Primary School

Kingslea Primary School’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the West Sussex local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 56%, Kingslea achieves 83% — a gap of 27 percentage points. That places the school third out of 35 primary schools in Horsham, and in the top 10% nationally. It’s a strong academic performer for a state primary, and the data suggests it punches above its local peers. The school is also oversubscribed by a considerable margin: for 59 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 258 applications, with 82 first-preference requests. That kind of demand reflects a reputation that families in the area clearly trust.
