About Salehurst Church of England Primary School

Salehurst Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the East Sussex local authority average, which is a notable point for parents weighing up options in the Rother area. In the 2023/24 academic year, 51% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 59%. That gap of eight percentage points places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the county, ranking 92nd out of 144. Its ranking within Rother itself is even starker: 27th out of 30 schools, putting it in the bottom 10% of the borough. Nationally, it sits in the 76th percentile, meaning roughly a quarter of primary schools across England perform worse on this metric. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, awarded in November 2022, provides some reassurance, but the raw academic data suggests outcomes are not keeping pace with many nearby state primaries.
