Mixed Primary
5.2/10 Broadly average

87th 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 — 6.7/10 against 1,389 of them, against 5.2/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 60.0 · 39 62% 2.40
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 12.0 · 74 38% 2.84

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, 60.0% 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. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. A breakfast club is available for pupils.

Getting in. The school has 407 pupils in a building with 378 places, meaning it is over capacity by 29. This means places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when the school is over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? How does the school engage parents in their child’s learning progress?

Based on official applications/offers, distance and catchment where we have it. Bands only — never a percentage.

Sibling, faith, looked-after and other criteria can override distance. Always confirm with the school or local authority.
