About St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School, Horsham
St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School in Horsham holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The inspection report reveals particular strengths in early years provision and personal development, both of which were judged Outstanding. Behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and the quality of education were all rated Good. For a primary school, the most telling academic metric is Key Stage 2 SATs performance, and here the school sits slightly below the local authority average. The West Sussex average for KS2 attainment is 56, and while St Robert Southwell’s exact score is not provided in the data, its position relative to the LA benchmark suggests room for improvement. The school is not among the seven Outstanding primaries in the local authority, with the nearest such school, Heron Way Primary School, located 2. 3 kilometres away.
