About The Angmering School

The Angmering School’s headline Progress 8 score of -0. 41 sits well below the West Sussex local authority average of 0. 03 for secondary schools, placing it firmly in the ‘below average’ banding nationally. This means that, on average, pupils here achieve nearly half a grade less per subject across eight GCSEs than students with similar starting points elsewhere. In the Arun local area, the school ranks 4th out of 6 schools on this metric, and across the whole of West Sussex it sits at 32nd out of 42 state secondaries. The gap is particularly noticeable in English, where the Progress 8 score drops to -0. 65, and in the EBacc subjects at -0. 58. Maths is the closest to the LA average at -0. 18, but the overall picture is one of a school where academic progress lags behind its peers.
