Holbrook Primary School
Ipswich, IP9 2PZ · Suffolk · primary school
44th 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 4,121 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.9/10 among them, against 6.8/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.05 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Orchestra, Drumming, MFL Languages, Violin, Guitar & Ukulele, Craft, Choir, and Gardening. Sports cover Football, Running, Street Dance, Netball, Basketball, Rugby, Athletics, and Tennis. Trips include visits to Flatford Mill and Thorpe Woodlands. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 182 pupils in a capacity of 196, leaving 14 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the morning start, given there is no breakfast club? What specific steps are being taken to close the gap with similar-intake schools? How does the after-school club integrate with the existing music and sports programmes?
