About Icklesham Church of England Primary School and Nursery

Icklesham Church of England Primary School and Nursery is a primary school in Winchelsea, East Sussex, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 125 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. 80% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 19.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 26% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Icklesham Church of England Primary School and Nursery their first choice was offered one of its 15 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.79 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.2%. There are about 19.2 pupils per teacher. Icklesham Church of England Primary School and Nursery 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.
