46th 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 3,999 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.4/10 among them, against 6.5/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 41% | 2.33 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.74 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 26% | 1.99 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
