Crawford's Church of England Primary School
Stowmarket, IP14 3QZ · Suffolk · primary school
95th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.0/10 against 1,987 of them, against 4.9/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 62.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join art, sewing, computer, and dance clubs, as well as football, archery, and multi-skills sports. The school does not offer a breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. There are 91 pupils in a school with 105 places, leaving 14 spare spots. The school 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 raise the 8.0% achieving the higher standard? How does the current staffing plan maintain the Good rating from the 2023 inspection?
