Somerleyton Primary School
Lowestoft, NR32 5PT · Suffolk · primary school
55th 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 3,174 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.7/10 among them, against 6.5/10 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) 2023/24 | 92.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 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.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Performing Arts & Dance, Sewing, Gardening, Generation, and Street Dance clubs, as well as Athletics. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 61 pupils in a capacity of 60 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since 0.0% of pupils reached the higher standard in 2023/24, what specific strategies are in place to stretch high-achieving students? How does the school support pupils in transitioning from the breakfast club into the main school day?
