About Pebsham Primary Academy

Pebsham Primary Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the East Sussex local authority average, a useful starting point for parents comparing schools in the Rother area. The school achieved a 68% expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a 59% LA average for primary schools. That nine-point gap is meaningful, and it places Pebsham 35th out of 144 primary schools in the county. Within Rother specifically, it ranks 9th out of 30 schools, putting it in the top third locally. The school’s Ofsted inspection in January 2025 rated it Good across all categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a clean sweep that matches its previous Good rating from 2019. With 30% of pupils eligible for free school meals, these results suggest the school is delivering solid academic outcomes for a cohort with above-average disadvantage.
