Rocks Park Primary School
About Rocks Park Primary School
Rocks Park Primary School sits comfortably above the East Sussex local authority average for its key stage 2 results, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 59%. That eight-point gap is a solid indicator that this school is performing better than many of its neighbours. The school ranks 39th out of 144 primary schools in the county, placing it in the top third locally. Its ranking score of 67 puts it within the top 50 nationally for this metric, though it sits some way behind the top-performing peers in its area, such as St Peter and St Paul CofE Primary School which scores 92. Still, for a school that is slightly oversubscribed — with 90 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake — it clearly holds strong appeal for local families.
