- What services are currently provided to meet those needs?
- How well are services currently provided to meet those needs?
- What gaps/barriers, if any, need to be addressed?

The needs assessment was conducted by researchers in the Public Health, Health and Social Care Commissioning Directorate, with consultation fieldwork undertaken between October 2013 and December 2013.

Analysis of the West Sussex 2011 Year 11 cohort
Date added: 24/08/2012
This report looks at educational attainment of Year 11 Pupils in 2011 at Key Stage 4 (GCSE) along with pupil progress in core subjects (English, Maths and Science) between Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4.
79% of students achieved 5+ A-C grades in all subjects, while 59% of students achieved 5+ A-C grades when including English and Maths.
This is similar to the national figures but compares averagely with neighbouring counties.
The results also show that there is a strong correlation between social deprivation and educational attainment, particularly for Maths and Science.
Variations in attainment were also observed between districts with a higher percentage of pupils from Horsham achieving grade A*-C compared to pupils in Adur.
Exclusion from school either temporarily or permanently is associated with poorer attainment. Pupils that have been excluded (between September 2007 and December 2010) were 3 times less likely to achieve 5+ A*-C grades (including English and Maths) compared to non-excluded pupils.
