West Rise Primary School

About West Rise Primary School

West Rise Primary School sits in East Sussex, where the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 59. The school’s own data doesn’t include a published KS2 score, so it’s hard to say exactly how it compares on that front, but the broader picture is clearer. Ofsted has rated the school Good overall, a rating it has held across both its most recent inspections — the graded one in 2015 and the ungraded visit in January 2025, where inspectors confirmed standards were maintained. That puts it in solid company: of the 144 primary schools in East Sussex, only 10 are rated Outstanding, and the nearest one, Polegate Primary School, is 4. 8 km away. With 265 pupils on a capacity of 630, the school is running well below its potential size, yet it’s heavily oversubscribed — 182 applications for 82 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 81 first-preference offers. That suggests strong local demand, even if the headline academic metrics aren’t available to compare directly against the LA average.
