About Oakfields Primary School, Horsham

Oakfields Primary School in Horsham sits slightly below the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 54% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a West Sussex average of 56%. That gap is modest, but it places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the county, ranked 104th out of 226. Within Horsham itself, Oakfields ranks 23rd out of 35 primary schools, putting it in the bottom 50% locally too. The school's reading and maths average scores both sit at 101, exactly in line with the national expectation, so the overall picture is one of a school that meets the basic benchmark but doesn't push far beyond it. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading is 12%, in maths 10%, and in writing just 2%, which suggests stretch for the most able is an area to watch. With a quarter of pupils eligible for free school meals, Oakfields serves a community with above-average disadvantage, which provides important context for these results.
