About St Richard's Catholic Primary School

St Richard's Catholic Primary School in Chichester holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a solid foundation for any family weighing up their options. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, which sits above the West Sussex local authority average of 56. That figure places St Richard’s in a competitive position among its peers, though it does not reach the top tier of the county’s primary schools — the three highest-ranked local state primaries (Barns Green, Heron Way and Aldingbourne) all score in the mid-80s on the ranking index. For a Roman Catholic voluntary-aided school with a capacity of 316, this suggests a consistent, above-average academic offering rather than an elite outlier. The Good rating, combined with a KS2 result that beats the LA norm, tells a story of reliable progress for most pupils, even if the school isn’t among the seven outstanding primaries in West Sussex’s 226-strong state primary sector.
