GCSE results in 2025 were below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 39.1 against 46.1 across England and 46.2 in West Sussex, with 33% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
Fine Art is unusually popular at GCSE: 21% of the year group took it, against 9% of pupils across England.
