About West Green Primary School

West Green Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit well below the West Sussex local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 56%, West Green’s figure is just 37%. That gap of 19 percentage points places the school in the bottom half of all primaries in the county — 156th out of 226 — and 19th out of 21 schools in Crawley. The school’s ranking score of 37 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally, too. It’s a stark contrast that parents will want to weigh carefully, especially if they’re comparing against nearby primaries like Barns Green or Heron Way, which both score 86. That said, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in early 2024 rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour, personal development, leadership and early years — so inspectors saw real strengths in the day-to-day running of the school, even if the headline exam figures are lower than the local norm.
