### End of primary school (KS2): 2024/25

| Measure | This school | West Sussex | England |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths | 76% | 60% | 62% |

Progress scores from KS1 to KS2 were not published for 2024/25, because the KS1 tests that give the starting point were cancelled in 2020 and 2021.
Results reflect the pupils a school admits as well as its teaching, and a year's results can move a lot in a small school.
