About North Lancing Primary School

North Lancing Primary School’s headline metrics sit noticeably below the West Sussex local authority average for primary schools, which is 56 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At this school, that figure is 42 per cent, a gap of 14 percentage points. In the Adur district, where it ranks 10th out of 11 primary schools, the school falls into the bottom 50 nationally for this key stage 2 measure. That said, the picture is not uniformly weak: 73 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in writing, well above the school’s own maths and reading rates, and 20 per cent achieved a higher standard in reading. The school’s overall Ofsted rating remains Good, a grade it has held across both its most recent inspections, including the graded inspection in May 2024.
