Freeman Community Primary School
Stowmarket, IP14 4BQ · Suffolk · primary school
217th 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 4,166 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 2.0/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 62% | 1.59 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0 out of 10 among them, against 2.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Freeman Girls Can club, participate in multisport, football, rounders, gymnastics, and parkour, or take part in dance. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 201 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 9 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
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 offered in the after-school club? How does the school manage admissions when demand exceeds the 9 available places?
