St Philip's Catholic Primary School
About St Philip's Catholic Primary School
St Philip's Catholic Primary School sits within the West Sussex local authority, one of 226 primary schools in the area. It is a state-funded, mixed Roman Catholic primary for children aged 5 to 11, led by headteacher Lucy Horne. Among its local peers in the same authority, the school is ranked alongside Barns Green Primary School and Heron Way Primary School, both of which hold a ranking score of 86, with Aldingbourne Primary School close behind at 84. This places St Philip's in strong company within the Arun borough, though the school itself does not have a published ranking score in the available data. With a school capacity of 210, it is a relatively compact setting, and its religious character as a Roman Catholic school will appeal to families seeking a faith-based primary education. The school does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, so it serves the standard primary age range only.
