Mixed Primary Church of England
8.9/10 Well above average

3rd 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.2/10 against 4,281 of them, against 8.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 86.0 · 95 62% 5.82
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 14.0 · 81 38% 3.12

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 86.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 14.0%. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. There are 178 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 32 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. With 32 places available, how does the school manage class sizes to ensure individual attention? How does the curriculum support the 14.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard in extending their learning? What specific support is available for pupils who are working towards the expected standard?
