About Walberton and Binsted CofE Primary School

Walberton and Binsted CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school's most recent graded inspection in 2017 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and the quality of education all judged Good. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. However, the most telling academic metric is Key Stage 2 performance. Just 29% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a West Sussex local authority average of 56%. This places the school in the bottom 50 nationally, ranking 25th out of 27 primary schools in Arun. While reading scores were stronger, with 68% reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 102, maths and writing were weaker, with only 35% of pupils reaching the expected standard in each.
