About Patcham Junior School

Patcham Junior School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2015, and an ungraded visit in October 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school’s leadership and management were also judged Good. On the most telling academic metric for a primary school, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stood at 55% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is slightly below the Brighton and Hove local authority average of 59%, and places the school 30th out of 40 primary schools in the area. Breaking that down, reading was the strongest subject with 81% of pupils meeting the expected standard, while maths followed at 66% and writing at 72%. Just 1% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, though 31% achieved higher in reading alone.
