Mellis Church of England Primary School
Eye, IP23 8DP · Suffolk · primary school
69th 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 3,213 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2/10 among them, against 6.0/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2 out of 10 among them, against 6.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Eco-Club and learn swimming. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 147 pupils in a building with 182 places, leaving 35 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading or maths? What are the specific times for swimming lessons? How do parents manage the lack of wraparound care before and after school?
