About London Meed Community Primary School

London Meed Community Primary School sits in a competitive West Sussex primary landscape, and its headline Key Stage 2 results offer a mixed picture against the local authority average. The school achieved a 57% expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is just one percentage point above the LA average of 56% — a marginal edge, but not a decisive one. That places it 97th out of 226 primary schools in the county, firmly in the middle of the pack. However, the school’s local ranking within Mid Sussex tells a different story: it ranks 21st out of 30 schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate borough. The gap between its county and local position suggests that while it holds its own across West Sussex, it faces stiffer competition from neighbouring primaries in Mid Sussex, where several schools outperform it.
