Oakwood Primary Academy
About Oakwood Primary Academy
Oakwood Primary Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly below the East Sussex local authority average, with 53% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 59%. That places the school 86th out of 144 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half locally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are a relative strength: the average scaled score of 102 is above the national benchmark of 100, and 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, with 12% reaching the higher standard. Maths is a little weaker, with an average score of exactly 100 and only 4% hitting the higher threshold. Writing is broadly in line with reading for expected attainment, at 68%, but just 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard. The school’s ranking score of 53 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, though it ranks 5th out of 10 primary schools within Eastbourne itself.
