About Fittleworth CofE Village School

Fittleworth CofE Village School is a primary school in Fittleworth, West Sussex, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 128 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 42% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Competition for places is real here - 74% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (27 first choices for 20 places). Overall pupil absence was 3.9%. There are about 19.0 pupils per teacher. Fittleworth CofE Village 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
