About Plumpton College

Plumpton College is a state-funded secondary school in Lewes, East Sussex, for students aged 16 to 99, and it holds an Ofsted overall rating of Good. The most telling academic metric available is its Progress 8 score, which measures how much progress pupils make between the end of primary school and their GCSEs compared with the national average. Plumpton College’s Progress 8 score sits at -0.16, which is exactly in line with the East Sussex local authority average for state secondary schools. This means students here make broadly the same progress as their peers across the county, though the score is slightly below the national average of zero. The school is one of only four in the local authority to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, out of 29 state secondaries, so while its academic progress is average for the area, its overall inspection judgement is notably strong. The headteacher is Jeremy Kerswell, and the school is mixed and non-religious.
