Farlingaye High School
Woodbridge, IP12 4JX · Suffolk · secondary school
27th of 43 secondary schools in Suffolk we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 918 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8/10 among them, against 3.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 16 | 35% | 0.55 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 39.8 · 40 | 30% | 1.20 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.15 · 38 | 25% | 0.96 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 43.8 · 38 | 10% | 0.39 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
