Questions

Questions parents ask

How many sixth forms are in West Sussex?
There are 43 sixth forms in West Sussex, including state-funded, academies, and independent schools.
What are the best sixth forms in West Sussex?
The highest-ranked sixth forms in West Sussex on Eduscope are St Paul's Catholic College, St Oscar Romero Catholic School and Bishop Luffa School, Chichester. We rank each state school against schools of the same phase across England on its Ofsted inspection, results and attendance.
How many Ofsted Outstanding sixth forms are in West Sussex?
West Sussex has 7 sixth forms rated Outstanding by Ofsted. A further 16 are rated Good, meaning 100% of inspected schools hold a Good or Outstanding rating.
How are sixth forms in West Sussex ranked on Eduscope?
Each state school gets a rank score out of 100. We place each measure as a percentile among state schools of the same phase across England, then weight them. Primary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 30%, pupils meeting the expected standard at Key Stage 2 30%, pupils reaching the higher standard 10%, persistent absence (lower is better) 20%, average reading and maths scores 10%. Secondary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 25%, Attainment 8 25%, grade 5 or above in English and maths 15%, persistent absence (lower is better) 15%, pupils staying in education or work after GCSEs 10%, A level average points (sixth forms only) 10%. Results are averaged over up to three years, and an Ofsted grade older than five years counts for less. A school needs data for at least 60% of the weights. Special schools, pupil referral units, nurseries, independent schools and 16 to 19 schools aren't ranked, and are listed by Ofsted grade and name. Our methodology page explains more.
What is the average class size in West Sussex sixth forms?
The average pupil-teacher ratio across sixth forms in West Sussex is 16:1. While this is not a direct measure of class size, it indicates the level of teaching resource available per pupil.
