About The Globe Primary Academy

The Globe Primary Academy in Adur is a state primary school that currently educates 417 pupils, well below its official capacity of 630. This spare capacity is notable given the school’s popularity at the admissions stage: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 123 applications for just 44 places, with 42 of those offers going to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio of 2.8 to one suggests strong local demand, even though the school doesn’t fill all its year groups to the brim. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.8%, which is significantly higher than the national primary average of around 23% — so the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Headteacher Motiur Rahman leads a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 4 to 11, and the school does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form.
