Brooklands Primary School
Nr Manningtree, CO11 1RX · Suffolk · primary school
33rd 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 4,194 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.1/10 among them, against 7.6/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 18.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.1 out of 10 among them, against 7.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a French club, play football and squash, and visit PGL, Bawdsey, and local forests. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 266 pupils in a capacity of 285, leaving 19 spare places. It has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to close the gap between the 7.1 and 7.6 scores in similar-intake schools? How are the 19 remaining places managed if demand rises?
