157th of 232 primary schools in Suffolk we can score, 253 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,267 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 2.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Saints Church of England Primary School, Newmarket
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils have "happy and positive relationships" with staff and behave in a "calm and orderly way." Leaders have implemented a "broad and well-sequenced curriculum" that builds knowledge progressively, resulting in pupils achieving broadly in line with national averages.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy "collective worship" and learn about kindness and respect through "life lessons" and the school’s faith ethos.
- The curriculum is carefully planned, allowing pupils to develop "specialised skills" such as enquiry in science and chronology in history.
- Staff effectively support early reading, ensuring pupils develop an "effective phonics base" and a "love of reading."
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is "carefully tailored," with strong parental feedback on the support received.
- Leaders work effectively with the governing body and trust, while also considering "staff workload and well-being."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure teachers understand how to "adapt and scaffold learning" so that challenges are well matched to pupils’ needs, preventing frustration.
- Further training is required for a minority of staff to ensure consistent implementation of new approaches in phonics, mathematics, and writing.
- More rigour is needed in some aspects to ensure "accountability and challenge processes" within leadership structures.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff appropriately trained to identify risks and report concerns, though leaders have plans to address "administrative gaps in records" regarding safer recruitment.
