Warden Park Primary Academy
About Warden Park Primary Academy
Warden Park Primary Academy’s headline KS2 results sit noticeably below the West Sussex local authority average, which stands at 56 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Warden Park, that figure is 41 per cent, placing the school 148th out of 226 primary schools in the county and in the bottom half nationally. The gap is consistent across individual subjects: 63 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, compared with 47 per cent in maths and 61 per cent in writing. At the higher standard, the picture is similarly modest — just 7 per cent achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, with maths the weakest at 14 per cent. The school’s average scaled scores of 104 in reading and 102 in maths are close to the national average of 100, but the overall expected standard figure suggests that many children are just scraping through rather than comfortably exceeding the bar.
