Charsfield Church of England Primary School

Woodbridge, IP13 7QB · Suffolk · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.0/10 Broadly average

94th 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 — 5.2/10 against 3,266 of them, against 4.9/10 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.

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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Pick and Mix, Craft, and Film clubs, or take part in swimming and watersports. Trips include a visit to Sherringham and a residential at Hilltop. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 37 pupils in a building with 70 places, leaving 33 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What does a typical day look like during the Hilltop residential? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
