About Storrington Primary School

Storrington Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 96 applications for 54 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.78. Of those 96 applications, 43 were first-preference choices, and the school was able to offer places to all 43 of those first-preference families. While the school does not publish a parent satisfaction survey or a specific 'would recommend' percentage, the high demand relative to available places is a strong practical signal that parents in the Horsham area are actively seeking a place here. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 374 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning there is some headroom but not much. Headteacher Nick Choate leads a school that, in its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024, was rated Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for personal development.
