About St Giles CofE Primary School

St Giles CofE Primary School in Mid Sussex has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, with an ungraded visit in 2024 confirming that standards have been maintained. This represents a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2017, when the school was judged to require improvement across leadership, management and overall effectiveness. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 62 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits above the West Sussex local authority average of 56 per cent for primary schools, placing St Giles in the top half of schools nationally at the 52nd percentile. The school’s ranking within Mid Sussex is 17th out of 30 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate borough, but the comparison with the wider county tells a more positive story.
