About Westfield School

Westfield School’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show that 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits just one point above the East Sussex local authority average of 59%. That places the school squarely in the middle of the pack — it ranks 16th out of 30 primary schools in the Rother district, and 65th out of 144 across the wider county. While the headline figure is in line with local norms, the detail reveals a more mixed picture. Reading is a clear strength, with 80% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 13% working at a higher level. Maths follows closely at 70% expected, but writing and the combined higher standard lag behind — only 3% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark in both reading, writing and maths. The average scores in reading and maths both sit at 104, which is broadly typical for a school of this type.
