Leiston Primary School
Leiston, IP16 4JQ · Suffolk · primary school
154th 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 — 3.9/10 against 1,925 of them, against 3.4/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 62% | 3.04 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Gymnastics, KS1 and KS2 Football Skills Clubs, and Year 1 visits the theatre. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 396 pupils against a capacity of 420, leaving 24 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 24 places remaining, how quickly do new starters integrate into existing class groups? Since 0.0% reached the higher standard, what specific support is offered to pupils who meet the expected standard? How does the school structure the transition from the KS1 to KS2 football clubs?
