Cedarwood Primary School

Ipswich, IP5 2ES · Suffolk · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
3.8/10 Broadly average

137th 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 3,934 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5/10 among them, against 3.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 57.0 · 32 40% 1.29

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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5 out of 10 among them, against 3.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Digital Leaders, Writing Club, Art Club, Chess Club, Junior Road Safety Officers Club, Forest Fridays, Choir, MADS Juniors, Netball Club, Boys’ Football Club, Girls' Football Club, Multi-sports Club, Football Club, and Jigsaw Dance Creationz. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 399 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, leaving 21 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for pupils joining a school that is fairly full?
