About Yapton CE Primary School

Yapton CE Primary School’s headline KS2 performance sits slightly above the West Sussex local authority average, with 59% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 56%. That three-point gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects: 70% hit the expected standard in reading, 77% in writing, and 66% in maths. The school ranks 86th out of 226 primary schools in the county, placing it in the middle of the pack rather than among the top performers. More striking is the contrast with the school’s own recent past — in its most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2024, it was rated Good overall, a clear improvement from the Requires Improvement rating it received just two years earlier, in March 2022. That upgrade suggests the school has addressed the weaknesses that previously held it back, and the inspection report notes that personal development is now Outstanding, the highest possible grade.
