About Maynards Green Community Primary School

Maynards Green Community Primary School is a Good-rated primary in Wealden, East Sussex, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school had previously been rated Outstanding in 2019, so the current Good rating with an ungraded outcome of 'standards maintained' suggests a steady ship rather than a decline. The most telling exam metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 73% of pupils hit that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That is well above the East Sussex local authority average of 59% for primary schools, placing the school comfortably in the top 25% nationally on this measure. In fact, Maynards Green ranks 6th out of 48 primary schools in the Wealden area, putting it in the top 12.5% locally. The school also achieved a ranking score of 73, which is a strong showing for a relatively small village primary.
