Questions
Questions parents ask
How many primary schools are in RH17?
There are 15 primary schools in RH17, including state-funded, academies, and independent schools.
What are the best primary schools in RH17?
The highest-ranked primary schools in RH17 on Eduscope are Wivelsfield Primary School and Nursery, Handcross Primary School and Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, Cuckfield. We rank each state school against schools of the same phase across England on its Ofsted inspection, results and attendance.
How are primary schools in RH17 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.
How do I choose a primary school in RH17?
When choosing a primary school in RH17, consider Ofsted ratings, Key Stage 2 results, distance from home, school size, and whether the school offers wrap-around care. You can compare all 15 primary schools on Eduscope using filters for school type, gender, religious character, and more.
