Shoreham Beach Primary School
About Shoreham Beach Primary School
Shoreham Beach Primary School sits within West Sussex local authority, ranking 7th out of 11 primary schools in Adur based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, though the picture is more nuanced than a single rank suggests. The top-performing peers in the area — Heron Way Primary School, Barns Green Primary School and Aldingbourne Primary School — all score higher on the same metric, but Shoreham Beach has its own strengths. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. It is led by headteacher Darren Vallier and currently has 198 pupils on roll, just under its capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.1 per cent, slightly below the national average for primary schools.
