About this school
Coombe Road Primary School is a primary academy in Brighton. It teaches children aged 4 to 11.
Ofsted has not yet inspected Coombe Road Primary School under its current framework. Seeing a school for yourself shows what no page can, so arrange a visit before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Coombe Road Primary School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Coombe Road Primary School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Coombe Road Primary School (closed August 2026)
Confirmed by a short inspection, not a full one
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 3 February 2023, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. The school's last full inspection took place before September 2019, so its area grades are not part of Ofsted's current published data. Older reports are on the school's Ofsted page.

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
