About Cradle Hill Community Primary School

Cradle Hill Community Primary School is a primary school in Seaford, East Sussex, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 659 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 2.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 45% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 6% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Cradle Hill Community Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 74 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 23.4 pupils per teacher. Cradle Hill Community Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
