Nacton Church of England Primary School
Ipswich, IP10 0EU · Suffolk · primary school
172nd 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 4,247 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7/10 among them, against 1.9/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7 out of 10 among them, against 1.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a Drama Workshop, and the school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 93 pupils in a capacity of 98 places, leaving 5 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 5 places remaining, how does the school manage waitlists for new starters? How does the curriculum support pupils who are not yet reaching the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club?
