Check the area around this school
204th 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 — 2.9/10 against 2,364 of them, against 2.8/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 14 | 35% | 0.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Brampton Church of England Primary School
Overview
Brampton Church of England Primary School is described as a "highly nurturing and inclusive" setting where pupils are "known well by staff" and feel safe. The report highlights "excellent" behaviour and strong support for pupils with special educational needs, though it notes that teaching consistency and writing opportunities across the curriculum require further development to help all pupils achieve their potential.
Strengths
- Behaviour is "excellent," with pupils showing "very positive attitudes" and respect for others in a "calm but highly focused" environment.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is "high quality," enabling them to "access the same learning as their peers and achieve success."
- Attendance has "risen in the last year," with leaders using a "targeted but sensitive approach" to improve the attendance of persistently absent pupils.
- Personal development is "rich and high quality," with pupils demonstrating a strong understanding of "fundamental British values" and taking pride in leadership roles.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure teachers provide "more opportunities to explain their ideas in writing across the curriculum," as written work in some subjects is not yet of high quality.
- Teachers must provide "enough opportunities for pupils to achieve highly in the curriculum beyond English and mathematics," as this approach is currently inconsistent.
- Work to improve pupils' "understanding and recall of multiplication facts" needs to be embedded to demonstrate a "sustained impact."
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" ensuring that concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
