Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
3.5/10 Broadly average

152nd 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.9/10 against 3,596 of them, against 4.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.9 out of 10 either way).

Getting in. The school has 491 pupils in a capacity of 520, leaving 29 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are available for children to join after the school day ends? How does the recent inspection influence current teaching priorities?
